Patrick H. McCarthy, Partner

Prior to joining PLA, Patrick served as Governor George Pataki’s Deputy Secretary for Appointments and Government Affairs. In this position, Patrick advised the Governor on all appointments to state agencies, commissions, committees, task forces and boards. He also worked with elected officials to evaluate candidates for positions appointed by the Executive Chamber. In addition to managing the Appointments Office, Patrick oversaw the Offices of Local Government and Regional Affairs.

From 2001-03, Patrick was the Executive Director of the New York Republican State Committee. He coordinated the day-to-day operations, fundraising and communication functions of the committee as well as four statewide campaigns. While supervising a staff of twenty, Patrick helped to implement “Victory 2002”, one of the most innovative get-out-the-vote operations in the party’s history. In 2000, Patrick served as Traveling Press Secretary for Rep. Rick Lazio’s Campaign for US Senate.

Other positions that Patrick has held within the Governor’s office include Director of the Office of Legislative Affairs and Deputy Press Secretary.

Having begun his career in the Senate Office of Media Services, Patrick has mastered the inner workings of the legislative and executive branches. The skills Patrick has honed in public service, along with the personal relationships he has built with key political and government figures, are all evident in the results achieved for PLA clients.
