Over the course of more than eight years, Ari held various senior roles with Senator Bob Casey, Jr., a pragmatic foreign policy leader. Upon his departure, Senator Casey stated, “From day one, Ari played a critical role in my 2006 election.  He and I have traveled tens of thousands of miles together domestically and abroad. He has done great work on my behalf.  As a native Pennsylvanian, I look forward to his future success.”
