Summary
Clark Milner, a former Trump White House policy aide, has joined MPL Strategies as a principal in May Mailman’s first major hire since launching the government affairs shop last year.
Milner most recently served in Stephen Miller’s office as special assistant to the president and senior policy adviser, working on executive orders covering anti-fraud efforts, housing, health-care costs and procurement reform.
His latest high-profile assignment was the White House push on the Protect College Sports Act, where the administration helped win support from the two biggest college conferences before the Senate adjourned last week without a vote.
Mailman, who left the White House last summer after helping lead the administration’s campaign against elite universities, is building MPL as a public affairs, legal and policy consulting firm stocked with Trump alumni.
