KBS Group today announced that George Redden joined the company as the head of the DC office.

KBS founder, former U.S. Senator Kit Bond said, “Our team has gotten to know George from his time in the Senate and he not only brings the policy chops to the table, but also the energy that will make him a tremendous asset to our clients.”

Prior to joining the firm, Redden worked for Kansas Senator Jerry Moran for six years. As a senior policy aide, he advised the Senator on a range of issues, with a special focus in amateur and professional sports, consumer protection, law enforcement, and immigration.

Redden’s portfolio in the Senator’s office included work on the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, and the Senate Committee on Appropriations.
