The Big Guns?
State Rep. LaVar Christensen has hired nationally known political strategist Eddie Mahe to be a campaign consultant for Christensen's bid to challenge Democratic Consgressman Jim Matheson in the 2nd Congressional District this year.
Christensen, a Republican from Draper, formed an exploratory committee late last year and confirms that when the first required disclosure report is filed with the Federal Elections Commission at the end of this month, it will show that he has retained the Foley Group, which is Mahe's consulting company.
Mahe, a former deputy chairman of the National Republican Committee, has consulted on campaigns dating back to the Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush presidential elections.
He became a familiar face in Utah in the mid-1990s when he was hired to do damage control for then-Congresswoman Enid Greene Waldholtz, embroiled in a campaign finance scandal that eventually landed her ex-husband, Joe Waldholtz, in prison.
Mahe has also been a political consultant for former Gov. Mike Leavitt and a business consultant for Envirocare of Utah.
Cheers,
Paul Rolly
