Porter aide to join Bremer staff in Iraq

Wednesday, Oct. 1, 2003 | 9:38 a.m.

WASHINGTON -- Traci Scott is leaving her job as spokeswoman for Rep. Jon Porter, R-Nev., to go to Iraq to work as a press officer for the Coalition Provisional Authority, overseen by Ambassador L. Paul Bremer.

Adam Mayberry, now a spokesman for the Airport Authority of Washoe County, will take over as Porter's press secretary on Oct. 13.

Scott, 38, worked for Sen. John Ensign, R-Nev., before joining Porter's congressional campaign in 2002.

Porter said in a statement Tuesday that he was sad to see her go but excited for her new position.

Ensign spokesman Jack Finn said he knows she will do a fine job for Bremer.

"We hope she stays safe and has a rewarding experience," Finn said.

Scott previously worked as a general assignment reporter for KLAS Channel 8, after spending 11 years at the CBS Washington bureau.

She has a master's degree in political management from George Washington University and a bachelor's degree in broadcast journalism from Howard University in Washington, D.C.
