WASHINGTON — Henry Connelly has joined Precision after a nine-year tenure handling communications for former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Connelly, most recently Pelosi’s communications director, has been named a senior VP in Precision’s comms practice tasked with helping clients navigate the politics, policy and media amidst today's volatility.

Connelly spent nine years as an aide to Pelosi which, during his four years as comms director, included playing a leading role in crafting the messaging around House Democrats’ achievements and congressional battles. He also also led the communications operation for the second impeachment trial of former President Trump for the January 6th attack on the Capitol, spearheaded House Democrats’ strategic response to the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision, and orchestrated messaging strategy for major legislative campaigns.

“Henry has been at the center of some of the hardest fights and the brightest spotlights in recent memory,” Precision partners Stephanie Cutter, Teddy Goff, and Mike Spahn said in a statement. “Henry’s extensive experience in the most demanding circumstances and political arenas will provide unique insights for a wide range of clients as they confront challenges both inside the beltway and far outside Washington.”
