Strategic Campaign Group’s vice president is former congressional aide Chip O’Neil, according to the group’s website. Its senior adviser is Dennis Whitfield, who served as chief of staff for the U.S. trade representative and then as deputy secretary of labor under President Ronald Reagan.

Whitfield has also provided political and communications advice to U.S. and foreign corporations, and was executive vice president of the American Conservative Union, which organizes the annual American Conservative Political Action Conference, known as CPAC.

Whitfield was also a director at BKSH and Associates, where he provided strategic government relations counseling. That firm was formed in 1996 when Paul Manafort and Roger Stone left Black, Manafort, Stone and Kelly and it merged with Gold and Liebengood. Manafort and Stone both went on to become close advisers to Trump. They had departed by the time Whitfield joined the firm.
