Messaging, Power & Politics: Inside Capitol Hill Communications ft. Brendan Buck

The Institute of Politics invites you to a lunchtime conversation with Brendan Buck, Chief Communications Officer at the Pharmaceutical Care Management Association and former senior communications adviser to House Speakers Paul Ryan and John Boehner. 


With more than a decade on Capitol Hill and experience spanning presidential campaigns, congressional leadership, media analysis, and strategic communications, Buck has helped shape some of the most consequential policy and political debates of the past decade. He will reflect on the evolving role of political messaging, party leadership, and the intersection of media and governance in today’s polarized environment.


Join us for a candid discussion on how ideas are framed, coalitions are built, and narratives are shaped in Washington.


*Lunch will be served
