GOSHEN, N.Y. (5/16/2013) – Focus Media, Inc., a Hudson Valley-based full-service advertising and public relations firm, announced today that it will manage media relations and advertising for Steve Neuhaus, candidate for Orange County Executive.
Focus Media has broad political and media relations skills and will assist Neuhaus throughout his campaign. Neuhaus has already secured the Independence Party endorsement and has thus far won 15 out of 19 Town and City Republican Committees who have endorsed candidates to date.
“I am pleased to work with Focus Media and their team. I have seen the good work they do in Chester as we have helped businesses advance rapidly from concept to construction and job creation. As an Orange County-based small business, and one who interacts with many businesses, not just in the political arena, Focus brings a wealth of contacts and experience. Like me, they want to keep everything about Orange County that taxpayers like, while making changes that are clearly needed,” Neuhaus said.
Neuhaus is currently the Chester Town Supervisor. He is also the Vice President of the Orange County Association of Town Supervisors and Mayors. He is a founding board member and served as Chairman of the Families of War Veterans Committee, is an Officer in the Navy Reserves and has served on the Board of Directors for the Orange County Land Trust.
“We are honored to represent Steve Neuhaus, the clear choice for Orange County Executive,” said Josh Sommers, President and CEO of Focus Media. “My firm is very selective when taking on political clients. Steve has a record of actively working for job growth, standing firm on his principles, and standing up for taxpayers. Working for private sector job growth is not something he just expressed some interest in when he decided to run for County Executive. Creating a business friendly climate with an affordable tax base has been his mission – something he has done quite successfully. We are fully committed to helping Steve win in November.”
Focus Media represents many of the Hudson Valley’s top businesses and organizations and has established a reputation for award-winning work and unparalleled results. In 2010 they successfully managed the re-election campaign of State Senator John Bonacic. In 2011 the firm was recognized as the fastest-growing public relations agency in the eastern United States by PR Week. In 2012 it was ranked on the Inc. 5000 list of top companies in the nation.
