Kent Alexander, who has traveled the world since 2011 as general counsel of international aid organization CARE Inc., has joined Michelle Nunn’s U.S. Senate campaign as chief of staff and strategy.

Alexander told the Daily Report this week that his decision to work full time for Nunn—a longtime friend with whom he cofounded Hands On Atlanta—offered a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work with someone who is such a good friend and would be such a great senator.”
