EP#52 AN INSIDE REVEAL OF THE REAL WASHINGTON D.C with Leslie Sorrell, Founder and former CEO Magnolia Group and Author of FROM CLIENTS to CROOKS

Author of Amazon bestseller, From Clients to Crooks-An Insider Reveals the Real Washington D.C., I previously was a Fox Radio News contributor. As well as the founder of the Magnolia Group, a political consulting firm of national influence, I have worked for many candidates and causes including notables, 2008 Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, former Majority Leader Eric Cantor, former transportation Chairman Don Young, Senator Ted Cruz, and Senator Rand Paul. On Capitol Hill, I worked for Congressmen Larry Combest, Ed Whitfield, and Ron Lewis where I lost my naivety, grew up, and left with ambition and cunningness.   I moved to a hot-bed of politics—Texas-- to work on the campaign trail for Congresswoman Kay Granger and Jeb Hensarling. After a winning election cycle in 2002 as Finance Director for Congressman Jeb Hensarling where we increased his campaigning contributions from $19,000 to over $1million in just a few months and was the fourth largest Political Action Committee (PAC) fundraiser for open seat races. It was then I knew there was a niche for a firm that knows how to implement innovative, aggressive, and strategic strategies.
