Posted by Keturah Hetrick on May 29, 2018 Rep. Karen Handel's (R-Ga.) communications director is bound for a trade group that last year dropped a mind-boggling $54.5 million on federal lobbying. Wes Shaw is now the National Association of Realtors' media relations representative for advocacy issues. He joined Handel's staff last October and previously spent five years with Rep. Sam Graves (R-Mo.). NAR performs the vast majority of its lobbying work through its in-house team, which lobbies on everything from immigration to disaster relief. Some people and organizations who "caught our eye" last week: Hill Departures - Ben Sharpe, formerly Digital Director to Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL)
- Austin O. Brown, formerly Correspondence Director to Sen. Jerry Moran (R-KS)
(now Digital Copywriter at the National Republican Senatorial Committee)
- Andrew Kornbluth, formerly Policy Analyst to U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom
(now Presidential Management Fellow at the Broadcasting Board of Governors)
