Rubio Brings in a Top Staff from House Speaker Days as Deputy Chief of Staff

U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Miami, has named two new members for his Washington, D.C., staff: Deputy Chief of Staff Alberto Martinez and Deputy Press Secretary Brooke Sammon.

Martinez, a Miami native who was Rubios communications director during his 2006-2008 term as Florida House speaker, has been an adviser for Rubios Reclaim America PAC and the Romney for President campaign.

Martinezs resume also includes stints as deputy speechwriter for Gov. Jeb Bush and as the Florida communications director for President George W. Bushs 2004 re-election campaign.

Sammon has previously served as the press secretary for U.S. Rep. Peter Roskam, R-Ill., and U.S. Rep. Phil Gingrey, R-Ga. She also worked on the Romney for President campaign.

I look forward to the legislative work we'll be doing in the 113th Congress, including our initiatives to expand middle class opportunities and reform Americas broken immigration system, Rubio stated in a release. These new hires will bolster the great team we have to serve the people of Florida and help us advance these important initiatives.
