Eric Johnson has made partner Mercury Public Affairs, a leading national bipartisan public strategy firm.
Johnson, previously Managing Director of the Florida office, joined Mercury Florida in 2022, bringing more than 30 years of experience in Florida and Washington politics and government relations.
“Eric has been a standout member of the Mercury Florida team since joining us and it is no surprise that he has earned this well-deserved promotion to Partner,” said Mercury Partner Ashley Walker.
“His impressive political expertise and proven leadership in strategic communications has made him a trusted advisor to our clients and has elevated Mercury Florida’s profile to new heights. We are proud to have Eric on the team and look forward to his continued success in driving exceptional results for our clients.”
Johnson, who has been listed in multiple editions of INFLUENCE Magazine’s “100 Most Influential People in Florida Politics,” advises a portfolio of clients that includes Fortune 500 companies, local political candidates, real estate developers and nonprofit organizations engaged in statewide initiatives.
He also represents Mayors and Commissioners in dozens of Florida counties and cities, serves as lead strategist to U.S. Rep. Jared Moskowitz and has previously served as Chief of Staff to two other Florida Congressmen, Patrick Murphy and Robert Wexler.
Johnson’s elevation was announced alongside bumps for the Managing Directors of Mercury’s New York, Illinois and New Jersey offices.
“We take expanding the partnership here seriously and expect the highest levels of performance in client service and business development for the individuals asked to join us,” Mercury CEO Kieran Mahoney said.
“These four individuals have not only achieved those levels of performance, they have also consistently demonstrated leadership and a commitment to our bipartisan culture of delivering for our clients across the spectrum of services we offer.”
