February 6, 2025

ROKK Solutions welcomes Annie Clark to our leadership team as Senior Vice President.

Annie spent more than a decade working on Capitol Hill. Most recently, she was the Communications Director for Senator Susan Collins (R–ME) and the Senate Appropriations Committee. Annie also served as the Campaign Communications Director for Senator Collins’ 2020 reelection bid.

“We are excited that Annie Clark is joining our growing team of seasoned communicators,” said Co-Founder and Partner Ron Bonjean. “Her extensive experience on Capitol Hill along with deep relationships with the media and extensive crisis management insights will be invaluable assets to assist our clients with their communications goals.

“Annie spent years as a top communications expert on Capitol Hill,” said Partner Kristen Hawn. “Her expertise and keen understanding of how to shape a narrative will help our clients navigate the ever-evolving political landscape.”

“Annie has made her mark on Capitol Hill, where she is universally known as a seasoned communicator and valued advisor to one of the most powerful senators in the Republican Party. More importantly, she understands the bipartisan culture we have built here and will contribute greatly to it,” said Co-Founder and Partner Rodell Mollineau. “I look forward to Annie utilizing her valuable experience for a wide array of clients as they navigate the new power dynamics in Washington D.C.”

“I’ve spent the last ten years in the center of some of the most intense political battles, and I’ve learned what it takes to win – especially when the odds are stacked against you,” said Annie Clark. “Ron, Rodell and Kristen have assembled an exceptional team at ROKK, and I’m excited to help our clients win debates, tell their stories, and successfully navigate crises in today’s rapidly changing media environment.”

In 2024, The Hill named Annie one of 25 staffers who make Capitol Hill run. The newspaper noted that Annie is “tough when she clashes with a reporter, but she’s accessible, always armed with the facts, and always out in front of developing stories…She’s been battle-tested in a way that few have been on Capitol Hill.”

Prior to her nearly ten years with Senator Collins, Annie served as the Communications Director for Congressman Mike Turner (R-OH) and the Director of TV and Radio at the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC). Originally from Leawood, Kansas, Annie is a graduate of Miami University in Oxford, OH.
