Reppin 3.11: Doug Elmets

Doug Elmets

Meet Doug Elmets, president of Elmets Communication. He is a high-profile media and crisis strategist known for his ability to defend and promote his clients through integrated communications. He’s also lifelong Republican who worked with Ronald Reagan during his Administration. Over the decades, he’s appeared on national programs speaking to promote the Republican agenda. But 2016, he was the FIRST Republican to step out onto the DNC stage to openly endorsed his political party’s opponent-Hillary Clinton for President. How did his appearance come to be? What compelled him to risk it all to be the LONE man to come forward and go against his political party? How did he sustain tremendous pressure to conform? And what was the fallout afterwards?
