Posted by Keturah Hetrick on May 26, 2020 Rep. Tom Tiffany (R-Wis.), one of two new members who took office last week, has chosen a Koch-funded lobbyist to lead his staff. Jason Bauknecht, now chief of staff, comes from Americans for Prosperity. The influential right-wing advocacy group serves as a primary lobbying outfit to funders Charles Koch and the late David Koch. AFP endorsed Tiffany's congressional bid to replace Sean Duffy (R), who resigned from office last fall. Bauknecht served as AFP's federal-affairs director and most recently lobbied on tax, veterans, health-care and telecom issues. He previously worked at the Wisconsin state house. Some people and organizations who "caught our eye" last week: Hill Hires - Caroline Burns, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Deputy Director, Digital Media
- Jefferson Willis, Sen. Mike Enzi (R-WY), Legislative Assistant
- Kelly Rodríguez, House Ways and Means Committee Trade Subcommittee, Trade and Labor Oversight Counsel
- Tony Eberhard, Sen. John Hoeven (R-ND), Chief of Staff
Hill Departures - Christopher Hanson, formerly Professional Staff Member to Senate Appropriations Committee Energy and Water Development Subcommittee
(now Commissioner at U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission)
