Crosby~Volmer Names Larry Farnsworth Vice President
WASHINGTON, DC — Crosby~Volmer International Communications, a Washington-based public relations firm, is pleased to announce its newest employee, Larry Farnsworth, to its team of talented professionals.
Prior to Crosby~Volmer, Larry was Deputy Press Secretary for Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, J. Dennis Hastert (R-IL). In this capacity, Larry oversaw the coordination of the Speaker's media appearances, located special media opportunities for Members of the House Republican Conference, and pitched story ideas to television and radio producers. Larry came up with the idea of creating a blog on the Speaker's website, making Speaker Hastert the only member of elected leadership in both the House and Senate to have an actual working blog. Larry worked in the Speaker's Press Office from 2003 until the spring of 2006, during which time he has also served as the Speaker's Speechwriter and as a press assistant, handling various day-to-day activities, such as writing press releases and speeches.
Prior to his work in the Speaker's Office, Larry spent six years in California working in local politics. He has worked on several campaigns, and has never lost a primary race. In 2002 Larry served on the Bill Simon for Governor campaign where he developed an aggressive evangelical outreach plan, broken down by zip code to register voters at their respective churches. Larry also coordinated a Get-Out-The-Vote operation broken down by zip code on Election Day. Despite the fact that it was a losing statewide campaign, Bill Simon carried every single county in the central part of California. Most recently, Larry was a key part in helping secure ballots during a contentious recount that secured victory in the election of the 109th Congress' youngest member, Rep. Patrick McHenry (R-NC) out of a highly contested four way primary in North Carolina.
