Grassroots.com Snags Former White House Official
Political services Web site Grassroots.com has signed former White House press secretary Mike McCurry to
be its leader.

The privately held company, based in San Francisco, Wednesday appointed McCurry as its new chief
executive officer, as it gets set to launch its new line of Internet-based products and services.

McCurry, 46, who most notably served as press secretary for President Clinton from 1995 to 1998, also will
remain a Grassroots board member. McCurry replaces co-founder Craig Johnson, who served as the interim
CEO.

Founded in September of last year, Grassroots is a political news site where voters can download video of
candidates' speeches or engage in chat-room discussions about hot-button political issues. The company also
offers online services for candidates aiming to raise money, recruit volunteers and motivate last-minute voters.
