The Family Research Council said Tuesday that outgoing Rep. Jody Hice, Georgia Republican, will join the conservative Christian organization in January as a senior adviser to longtime President Tony Perkins.
Mr. Hice, a former Southern Baptist pastor in Georgia before serving in Congress, said in an interview he was “extremely honored and excited to be able to join the FRC team starting in January.”
The four-term House member mounted an unsuccessful bid for Georgia’s Secretary of State position. Despite an endorsement by former President Donald Trump, he lost the May primary to incumbent Brad Raffensperger, who won reelection in November.
