Story Partners Hires Four, Promotes One

Story Partners has hired four people to join the public affairs firm.

Lauren Pratapas is coming on as senior director after working as director of new media for House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.). Ashley LaGanga, a former deputy press secretary to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), has been named the firm's writer/editor. And Lisa Chapman, who was an associate at HDMK, and Elyse Petroni, who was an account executive at GolinHarris, are joining as senior associates.

Story Partners also promoted Andrew Fimka from director to vice president.
