EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT

Name: George Husted

Title: Compliance Associate, HenryAlan

Location: Columbus, OH

Bio: I moved around Missouri frequently when I was growing up, and finally thought I had settled down in Springfield, after graduating with a degree in accounting from Missouri State University (Go Bears!). I was working for a local CPA helping small businesses with managing payroll, tax filings, and financial statement preparation. Throughout college, I was involved with College Republicans, serving as treasurer for 3 consecutive years. My years in CRs sparked my passion for politics and I’ve always had a head for business and numbers. I’m grateful for the opportunity to combine both my passion and talents into my career with Axiom for the last year and a half.

What you do at Axiom/how you serve our clients: I am a Compliance Associate on a great team at HenryAlan and I process incoming donations, manage payables, keep official records, and file reports with the FEC. My role is to coordinate with candidates, campaign staff, and GCs to make sure that everyone has an accurate financial picture of the campaign. While my work may be mostly behind the scenes, it is vital to running a successful campaign and staying out of trouble.

Fun fact: I served as treasurer for the Missouri State athletics fan club, Maroon Madness.

How you got your start in politics: I was recruited to join CRs less than a week into freshman year of college and remained an active member throughout my time, making connections with other CRs who now work all over the country in various staff positions in US Congress, Missouri House/Senate, and across other businesses. I served as the treasurer for the Missouri Federation of College Republicans for 3 years, which made me the longest serving officer.
