“I’m thrilled to be joining the experienced and dedicated team at Rapp Strategies, and I am eager to work with some of the industry’s best and brightest policy minds in the communications profession,” Misiag said. “I was seeking a forward-thinking firm with a reputation for excellence, and it was immediately clear that Rapp Strategies would be a tremendous opportunity.”

Most recently, Misiag worked for the University of Iowa Office of Governmental Relations, where he helped lead digital and in-person communications between the institution and the Iowa Legislature, state agencies, and Gov.
