Mr. Ambrosino joined 1868 Public Affairs after serving as Governor Christine Todd Whitman's Senior Deputy Director of Communications, spearheading theme and message development in the Governor's Office. His work helped advance the Whitman administration's agenda in a variety of areas, including health care, education, senior and veterans issues, and the environment and highlighted Whitman's accomplishments by meshing strategic communications efforts like direct mail, electronic advertising and earned media with important administration policy initiatives.
Over the past two decades, Mr. Ambrosino has served in various campaigns at the national, state and county level in a wide variety of roles. In 2010 he was a Co-Chairman of Congressman Jon Runyan's successful congressional race and in 2009 he served as Camden County Campaign Coordinator in Governor Chris Christie's successful campaign. In 2008, Mr. Ambrosino was named New Jersey's Delegation Aide to the Republican National Convention by the McCain for President campaign and served as the campaign's Camden County Field Coordinator.

In 2004, Mr. Ambrosino served as Southern New Jersey Campaign Coordinator for the Bush-Cheney re-election campaign, developing and implementing the campaign's grassroots strategy in an eight-county region. Ultimately, President Bush improved his performance in Ambrosino's region over the 2000 election by more than 14 percentage points, the largest such regional improvement in the nation.

From late 1997 to early 1999, Mr. Ambrosino served as Director of Business & External Affairs for the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). Charged with developing a pro-active business and governmental outreach program, he gained invaluable knowledge of the department's regulatory system and its effect on New Jersey's economy.

In 1997 Mr. Ambrosino served as Deputy Campaign Manager on Governor Whitman's successful re-election campaign, managing the campaign's daily operations. For two years prior, he served as Political Director at the New Jersey Republican State Committee and Executive Director of the New Jersey Victory 96 program.

Mr. Ambrosino also serves as a Commissioner of Elections in Camden County, a post to which he was first appointed by former Governor Jon Corzine in 2006. He has been re-appointed by Governor Chris Christie.

A graduate of Temple University with a degree in Journalism, Mr. Ambrosino and his wife Mindy reside in Cherry Hill with their sons, Cory and Luke.
