What key figures had to say:

  • Senator Raphael Warnock: “For over a decade, Dylan Laslovich has served as a top advisor for our country’s most influential leaders, navigating both high-stakes elections and landmark legislative negotiations. I’m thrilled that he will bring his invaluable experience to my Senate office. I’m also pleased to promote my top policy advisor Josh Delaney to an expanded role serving the people of Georgia.”
