Sixth Congressional District Congressman Roscoe Bartlett today announced national Republican strategists Bob Wickers and Bryan Sanders will guide his re-election effort.  Bob Wickers, of Dresner Wickers Barber Sanders, will serve as the campaign’s general consultant and lead strategist.

“I am very pleased Bob Wickers and his firm have agreed to lead my campaign team,” said Bartlett.   “They are well-respected and nationally recognized as one of the most successful Republican full-service agencies, finding ways to win against all odds with a level of integrity and commitment to excellence second to none.”

While Wickers and Sanders will handle research, message and media, campaign veteran Terry Allen will serve as senior advisor, Steve and Jennifer Hilliard of Castle Strategies will guide all new media and online efforts, and Kirk Clinkenbeard will handle national fundraising.  Ted Dacey of Frederick will serve as campaign manager and oversee all day-to-day grassroots, political, and local fundraising programs.

Over the last two decades Bob Wickers and his firm have built a record of winning hotly-contested and high-profile Republican primary and general elections.   Bob Wickers served as media consultant and pollster for Governor Huckabee’s campaign for president. His award-winning work in that race was featured by the Wall Street Journal. In addition to Congressman Bartlett, their current clients include Governor Robert Bentley (AL), Congressman Trent Franks (AZ), and Attorney General Scott Pruitt (OK).

Joining Congressman Bartlett’s team earlier this week was Maryland Republican Party Chairman Alex Mooney, State Delegates Mike Hough and Neil Parrott, Frederick County Republican Central Committee former Chairwoman Mary Rolle and former Committee-Member Dino Flores and Frederick County Commissioner President Blaine Young and fellow Commissioners Paul Smith and Kirby Delauter  and Frederick City Alderman Shelly Aloi and Washington County Republican Central Committee-Member Bob Sweeney.
