Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Sept. 7, 2021 Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.) has lost one of his longest-serving staffers to an engineers' group. Longtime staffer Matt McGinn is now senior manager for government relations at the American Society of Civil Engineers. The trade group has spent about $1.4 million on federal lobbying in the last year, working on issues including the infrastructure bill and funding for STEM education. McGinn had spent nearly a decade with Cicilline's D.C. office and was most recently a senior legislative assistant. Some people and organizations who "caught our eye" last week:
Hill Departures - Rachel Ver Velde, formerly Chief of Staff to Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-WI)
(now Director of Workforce, Education and Employment Policy at Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce) - David Stephens, formerly Deputy Press Secretary/Digital Director to Sen. Deb Fischer (R-NE)
(now Associate at Targeted Victory)
