Governor Tim Walz goes into tomorrow night’s Vice Presidential debate with some key advantages — including a strong record of lifting up middle class families, codifying abortion access, and distinguished service to his country. Not to mention, he’s just likable and authentic! I joined Rasheeda Kabba on Local News Live | LNL this morning to discuss.

Thank you Jason Barry and Digital Health Wire for the opportunity to share my views on #fundraise coverage. Like my long-time client, Panera founder and CAVA chairman Ron Shaich says of #IPOs and raises, they are like weddings – a reason for excitement and possibility, but all the good stuff and tough work comes after. Granted, telling more fulsome success stories can be harder on the companies themselves (who often need to share more on their financials), but the benefits of quality storytelling are worth the extra digging. #Communications professionals and reporters – let's commit to highlighting more company wins that reflect marketplace engagement and substance – and not just the ones that only capture often-fleeting #investor attention. #healthcare Curious for the views of others in my network? https://lnkd.in/ekit8vAt

In celebration of #HispanicHeritageMonth, we will be spotlighting the stories and achievements of our Hispanic and Latino staff. This week, we introduce you to Francisco Ochoa! Francisco is an associate based in NYC who works with various clients. His most impactful experience at SKDK has been pitching Latino news outlets in Spanish about the urgency of cancer screenings. Q: What does Hispanic Heritage Month mean to you? Hispanic Heritage Month means the world to me. It is a month dedicated to celebrating a united community that has helped pave the way for future Hispanic generations. Q: What advice do you have for fellow Hispanic professionals? The advice I would give to fellow Hispanic professionals is to be confident and trust in everything you do. The professional setting can be intimidating, but standing tall will set you apart. Never stop giving your all!
