First whiff you get is the name: Main Street Opportunity & Growth Coalition

So I google that and get nowhere except this story. OK. So who is Cygnal? http://www.cygn.al/

Actually, let's take a closer look at it's Managing Partner, Brent Buchanan.



So where's he been? The Leadership Institute, for one.


Brent Buchanan is a founding partner of Public Strategy Associates, a campaign strategy, public relations and governmental affairs firm based in Montgomery, Alabama. During the 2010 election cycle, Public Strategy Associates worked with over twenty Republican candidates for both the Primary and General elections. Many won their primaries and did not have general election opposition. However, ten candidates, including Lieutenant Governor, Agriculture Commissioner, five state senate, two state house candidates and a candidate for sheriff were victorious, many in Democrat-leaning districts. PSA also laid the groundwork for now-Governor Robert Bentley’s campaign.
