Former U.S. Attorney Pat Meehan of Southeast Pennsylvania today announced a line-up of advisers for his expected campaign for the Republican nomination for governor in 2010. It's an all-star lineup with years of PA experience, and it comes a few days after his team let it be known he's raised $700,000 in last couple months of "exploration."

Here are the advisers:

Chris Mottola : Media Consultant

A nationally recognized political media consultant, Chris Mottola has designed media campaigns for Republicans across the country and political spectrum.  The New York Times praised his “national reputation for winning” and some of his recent clients include Senator John McCain (R-AZ), former President George W. Bush, Governor George Pataki (R-NY), Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA) and the Republican Governors Association.

Mike Hudome : Media Consultant

Mike Hudome is President of MH Media, a respected force in Republican politics producing television and radio advertising for candidates for political office, leading trade associations and state GOP party committees.  Mr. Hudome was a founding member of Foxhole Productions, the creative and production team for Senator John McCain’s campaign for President, and he led the effort for the McCain comeback in New Hampshire.  Hudome’s advertising in the 2008 Presidential campaign was called “authentic” by Ad Week, “powerful” by the New York Times, and “effective” by NBC News.  Further, Mike Hudome has held senior positions at the Republican National Committee, the National Republican Senatorial Committee, and he served as Executive Director of the Delaware Republican Party.

Craig Snyder : General Consultant

Craig Snyder is Managing Partner of Ikon Public Affairs.  Snyder has 25 years experience, and his career has spanned nearly every facet of public affairs including running for Congress in 1992, serving as a Public Policy Specialist with the World Affairs Council of Philadelphia, serving as former Chief of Staff to Senator Arlen Specter and assisting numerous campaigns with advertising.

Vince Galko : Senior Advisor

Vince Galko has worked in Pennsylvania Republican politics for over a decade.  Vince has served as Executive Director of the PA Republican State Committee, and most recently, he served as Campaign Manager for Hazleton Mayor Lou Barletta in his run for Congress.  He was appointed Regional Administrator for the Department of Education by President George W. Bush.  He also served on the staffs of Senators Rick Santorum and Arlen Specter and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani.  In 2004, Vince was Deputy Executive Director for Bush-Cheney ‘04 in Pennsylvania, and in 2006, Campaigns & Elections Magazine named Vince as one of their 10 Rising Stars in American politics.  He is a Senior Associate at IKON Public Affairs.

Tony Fabrizio : Pollster

Tony Fabrizio served as chief Pollster to Bob Dole’s ’96 Presidential campaign and over the past 20 years has worked for scores of Senators, Congressmen and Governors.  In particular, Fabrizio’s experience in electing and re-electing Governor Tim Pawlenty (R-MN), who is widely considered a 2012 Republican presidential candidate in the face of a huge Democratic tide in a Democrat leaning state, will be invaluable in Pennsylvania in 2010.

Mindy Finn : New Media

Mindy Finn served as the Director of eStrategy for the Mitt Romney for President campaign where she directed the effort to maximize technology and the web to best communicate the candidate’s message, raise money and mobilize a strong base of support.   In 2007, Finn was selected by Campaigns & Elections as a Rising Star in American politics and chosen as a fellow for the Institute of Politics, Democracy and Internet at George Washington University.  Finn also served as Director of New Media & Technology for U.S. Senator Rick Santorum, she helped jumpstart the first eCampaign department at the Republican National Committee in 2005, and she served as Deputy Webmaster for Bush-Cheney ’04.

Virginia Davis : Communications

Virginia Davis has worked for several Republican U.S. Senators since 2000.  She was press secretary to both former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum’s reelection campaign in 2006 and U.S. Senator Richard Shelby (R-AL) from 2003 - 2005.  She was deputy press secretary during U.S. Senator John Thune’s (R-SD) first run for the Senate, and she served as a communications consultant to the West Virginia Republican Presidential Convention in 2008.

“I am pleased to announce that these experienced individuals are coming on board to assist in our effort.  They have been at the helm of many campaigns, and I am fortunate to have them as part of my team,” said Pat Meehan.
