Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Oct. 7, 2019 A former House chief of staff and assistant secretary of commerce has struck out on his own as a lobbyist. Mike Platt registered as a lobbyist for FAIR Health through his new one-man shop Platt Strategic Consulting, which he started earlier this year. He's lobbying on the Lower Health Care Costs Act for the health-care data-collection group. Before moving to the Commerce Department in 2017, Platt spent 14 years with then-Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), working his way up to the top of her office. This isn't Platt's first pass through the revolving door: He previously worked as a lobbyist for the Recording Industry Association of America and for TechNet. Some people and organizations who "caught our eye" last week: Hill Departures - Rohini Kosoglu, formerly Chief of Staff to Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA)
(now at Kamala Harris for the People) - Rachel Millard, formerly Communications Director, Republican to House Agriculture Committee
(now Deputy Director of Public Affairs at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission)
Hill Moves and Promotions - Erin Jarnagin, now Legislative Assistant for Sen. Mike Enzi (R-WY)
(formerly Legislative Assistant to Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY)) - Kevin Figueroa, now Press Secretary for Rep. Marc Veasey (D-TX)
(formerly Legislative Correspondent to Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA)) - Ally Kehoe, now Communications Director for Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA)
(formerly Communications Director to Rep. Donald Norcross (D-NJ))
