Posted by Keturah Hetrick on July 26, 2021 A fast-growing government-relations firm has wooed an aide from the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. Allison Feikes joined Ervin Graves Strategy Group as a vice president earlier this month. The firm is on track to earn about $4.8 million in federal lobbying revenue in 2021 - 55 percent more the $3.1 million it brought in last year. Ervin Graves was known as Ervin Hill Strategy until former Rep. Tom Graves' (R-Ga.) addition to the firm last fall. For the HELP Committee, Feikes worked under chair Mike Braun (R-Ind.) as a professional staff member and acting GOP staff director to the Employment and Workplace Safety Subcommittee. She's also worked in Sen. Mike Braun's personal office and for then-Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-Va.).
