Alexa Henning, Former Trump and Huckabee Sanders Advisor, Joins P2 Public Affairs

Henning, who most recently served as Arkansas Governor Sarah Sanders’ Communications Director, joins P2 as Senior Vice President

WASHINGTON, DC (August 7, 2024) – Today, P2 Public Affairs announced the addition of Alexa Henning, a top media and communications professional with more than 10 years of experience at the state and federal level. Henning will play a vital role in advising clients and securing results as P2 continues to build a team of media relations and storytelling experts.

“I’ve counted on Alexa Henning since our earliest days together in the Trump White House,” said Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders. “She was a loyal staffer when I was Press Secretary, an effective adviser when I became Governor, and a good friend throughout. She brought experience at the highest level of political communications to the Governor’s Office and expertly navigated the first year and a half of my administration. I am deeply grateful for her service to the State of Arkansas and wish nothing but good luck to her as she takes this next step in her career.”

Alexa is a seasoned political communications strategist with over a decade of experience across the highest levels of government and political campaigns. Most recently, she served as Communications Director to Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders. After over a year and a half of service to Governor Sanders, the Arkansas Democrat Gazette announced her departure on Tuesday. Prior to this role, Henning held key positions such as Deputy Chief of Staff and Spokesperson for U.S. Senator Ron Johnson from Wisconsin, as well as Senior Advisor to his successful 2022 re-election campaign.

Henning’s prior significant roles include serving as Director of Media Affairs for the Donald J. Trump for President Campaign in 2020, and earlier, as Special Assistant to the President and White House Director of Broadcast Media during the Trump administration. She began her career in the office of U.S. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and in Houston as part of his presidential campaign.

A native of Dallas, Texas, Henning is a graduate of the University of Missouri, bringing a wealth of experience in strategic communication, governmental affairs, and political engagement to her roles.

This week, P2 also announced the promotions of two long-time P2 veterans, Katherine Neal and Shelby Hanson. Neal was promoted to Senior Vice President and Hanson to Chief of Staff.
