U.S. Sen. John Cornyn hired Brendan Steinhauser to run his reelection campaign, choosing the former FreedomWorks op to help him navigate through a party that has imbibed a lot of Tea since Cornyn was last on the ballot in 2008. Steinhauser worked on campaigns for Marco Rubio, Mike Lee and Pat Toomey and has most recently been working for the Texas Public Policy Foundation.
