Ross Appoints New Chief of Staff
 
(Washington, D.C.) U.S. Rep. Mike Ross (AR-04) today announced the appointment of a new chief of staff for his Washington, D.C. office.  Ross’s new chief of staff will be Drew Goesl, currently Arkansas’ Senator Blanche Lincoln’s Communications Director. 

 

“I am very pleased to announce the appointment of Drew Goesl as my new chief of staff,” Ross said.  “As an Arkansas native from Texarkana, Goesl possesses the ‘Arkansas values’ that my office is built upon.  We are excited to welcome him aboard.”

 

 “As a lifelong resident of the Fourth Congressional District, this is both an exciting and a humbling opportunity,” Goesl said. “I have a tremendous amount of respect and admiration for Congressman Ross and his staff and I am honored to serve the people of Arkansas as a member of his Congressional team.”

 

Born and raised in Texarkana, Drew is a lifelong resident of Arkansas’ Fourth Congressional District.  Goesl is a 1994 graduate of Arkansas Senior High School in Texarkana, where his parents Jeanne and Ladd Goesl still reside. Upon graduation from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, Goesl joined the fund-raising staff of Blanche Lincoln’s first campaign for the U.S. Senate. 

After Lincoln’s successful election, Goesl moved to Washington with Lincoln and worked his way up her organization from Deputy Press Secretary, to Press Secretary, to his current position, as Lincoln’s Communications Director, senior advisor and spokesperson.  He also recently completed a year long stint as President of the prestigious, bipartisan U.S. Senate Press Secretaries Association.  Goesl will begin working for Ross on June 19th in his Washington, D.C. office.
