In its coverage of Governor-elect Hannah Pingree’s transition, the Portland Press Herald highlighted two members of the Bernstein Shur team: Jonny Asen, who managed Pingree’s successful campaign for governor, and Mary-Erin Casale, who served as the campaign’s spokesperson.
Jonny is a Senior Advisor in government relations and political consulting at Bernstein Shur. He spent five years in the Obama White House, where he rose to chief of staff to the director of legislative affairs. He returned to Maine to serve as a senior adviser to House Speaker Mark Eves and later as chief of staff to House Speaker Sara Gideon.
Mary-Erin, a senior advisor at Bernstein Shur, will serve as spokesperson for the governor-elect’s transition through the January 6 inauguration. She previously served as communications director and senior policy advisor to the Maine Speaker of the House.
We’re proud of Jonny and Mary-Erin’s work on the campaign and congratulate Governor-elect Pingree as she prepares to take office in January.
