AUSTIN – Ashley Sewell, formerly CEO of Carnivore Media, a boutique online image management firm, is bringing her talent to the Texas Public Policy Foundation and Right on Crime campaign. Ashley will continue working for smaller government, lower taxes, and increased personal responsibility both in Texas, as well as the rest of the nation.

“It’s a tremendous honor to be a part of such an influential and dynamic team,” Sewell said.  “I am greatly anticipating bringing new ideas and perspectives to an already successful effort.  Right on Crime draws attention to much needed reform in the criminal justice system and reminds conservatives why this issue, with its focus on delivering more effective, less costly public safety, should be near the top of our agenda.”

With a background in marketing and sales, Ashley will be able to not only efficiently communicate with legislators and other policy makers, but also activists and apolitical citizens alike.

“Ashley has the unique ability to take complex policies and translate them easily into compelling messages, and will be instrumental in expanding our audience,” added Marc Levin, Policy Director for Right on Crime. “Her fluency in social media has earned her a reputation as a highly-sought online marketing consultant, a skill that will certainly benefit our team.”

Ashley previously served as the North Texas Field Director for the Ted Cruz for U.S. Senate Campaign in 2012.  She was mentored by the late Andrew Breitbart, who taught her to take initiative and be steadfast in her conservative values.

In 2011, Sewell was named among ELLE Magazine’s “The Best and The Rightest,” a spotlight on conservative women shaping the political landscape. In the same year she was named Smart Girl Politics “Educator of the Year” for her work in grassroots activist training.  Ashley is no stranger to local and national media outlets, having appeared on CNN, NPR, CBS, NBC, The Mark Davis Show, and From the Right Radio.

Marc Levin is Director of the Center for Effective Justice at the Texas Public Policy Foundation.

Right on Crime is a national campaign that supports fighting crime, prioritizing victims and protecting taxpayers.
