Ed Brookover

Ed Brookover, Chairman of Greener and Hook's Political Practice, has over 30 years experience in campaign politics. He has served as the national director for campaigns for all three Republican national committees. Brookover's hands-on campaign experience in all fifty states led Roll Call, Capitol Hill's leading newspaper, to label him a "svengali" for Republican Members of Congress and candidates.

Brookover served as political director for the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) from 1995 to 1999. He helped Republicans regain control of Congress and maintain its majority for the next two cycles. During his tenure at the NRCC, Brookover managed the GOP to upset victories in three key special elections.

While at the NRCC, Brookover served as the staff liaison to the Republican leadership in Congress, briefing the leaders on political activities across the country and coordinating the Republican Congressional message. Working with Michael Hook, Brookover also developed the NRCC's first-ever issue advertising campaign.

Prior to joining the NRCC, Brookover worked at both the Republican National Committee (RNC) and the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC). Brookover was the political director for the NRSC during the 1988 campaign cycle. He directed NRSC activities in all 33 Senate races that year. Brookover previously served as national field director for the Republican National Committee, serving under then RNC Political Director Bill Greener. He managed a staff of 47 with offices located all across the country.

Brookover's work has not been limited to politics in this country. He served as an advisor to the Prime Minister's election in Greece and has been sought out by conservative parties in England, Canada, Australia, Belgium, and Taiwan for his advice and counsel. Immediately prior to joining Greener and Hook, Brookover served as Vice President of Political Affairs for Bonner & Associates. While at Bonner, Brookover developed grassroots and public relations strategies for clients such as The Business RoundTable, The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Information Technology Industry Council (ITIC) and the Nuclear Energy Institute.

Brookover’s work has also been recognized by his peers.  The American Association of Political Consultants recently awarded Brookover a “Pollie” award for his writing, direction and producing advertising for the Michele Bachmann for Congress campaign.  He is also a founding member and Chairman of the National Association of Republican Campaign Professionals.

Campaign and Elections Magazine named Brookover one of America's rising political stars. He has lectured on campaign strategies and tactics at George Washington University, American University, Lafayette University, Kent State University, the University of Toledo and George Mason University.

Brookover has been married to his wife Barbara for twenty-five years. They reside in Falls Church, Virginia.
