Former Biden Adviser and Campaign Spokesperson Joins Disney Communications Team

The latest addition to the Disney TV communications team is a former adviser to President Biden and spokesperson for the current POTUS’s 2020 campaign.

The Walt Disney Company has been known to find new talent to join their enterprise from across the political spectrum. Former Disney executive Zenia Mucha is a good example; Mucha pioneered communications for many of Disney’s major business ventures over the two decades that she worked with the Mouse House, and is known to have worked on former Presidents George H.W. Bush and Ronald Reagan’s campaigns prior to her Disney career.

Now, new talent has joined Disney Television’s communications team, and it comes from the other side of the political spectrum.
