Former Pawlenty spokesman Brian McClung is moving to a new office.

PR and public affairs firm Goff & Howard announced Tuesday that they were forming a "strategic partnership" with McClung, who left the governor's office earlier this year and formed his own communications firm.

While McClung, who worked as the executive director of a pro-Emmer campaign group this year as well as working with other clients, will work out of Goff & Howard's St. Paul office but his firm and Goff & Howard will "remain separate entities that will work together with clients on a project-by-project basis," a release said.
