Five new staffers join D.C. Office
January 9, 2007
Washington, D.C.
- {Congressman Gus Bilirakis (FL-09) announced the
hiring of five new staffers for his Washington,
D.C. office. The five hires
augment the staff that carried over from his father, former Congressman Michael
Bilirakis (FL-09).
The new hires are Collin Vause, Liz Hittos, John Randall, David Peluso and
Monica Richter.
Collin and Liz will act as Legislative Counsel to the new Congressman. Prior
to coming to Washington,
Collin was a litigation attorney in private practice. Before entering
private practice, he was a Captain in the US Army JAG Corps. He has lived in
the Tampa Bay area for 27 years.
Preceding her employment at Congressman Gus Bilirakis' office, Liz practiced
criminal law: six and one half years as a state prosecutor and eight years in
private practice with Gus Bilirakis. In addition, she served on Bilirakis'
Congressional campaign team as the deputy campaign manager/press person.
John Randall will be the new office's press secretary. Previously, John was
the Director of Radio & TV for the National Republican Congressional
Committee and began his D.C. career at Edelman Public Relations.
David Peluso will be the office Executive Assistant/Systems Administrator.
He began his work for the new Congressman during the campaign as the Finance
Director. Prior to that, David interned for former Congressman Mike Bilirakis
while earning a Bachelors degree in Technology Management from St. Petersburg College.
Monica Richter worked on the campaign and will assume the staff assistant
duties later this month when she moves to the District.
"I am excited about these new hires. I believe mixing new people with
staffers that have served the district for several years will ensure the
residents of Florida's
Ninth District continue to receive the highest level of service," Congressman
Gus Bilirakis said.
