Kick Off Fall With A Deal!
|
Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Oct. 5, 2020 The pandemic has made lobbyists out of two Centers for Disease Control and Prevention appointees who left the agency in August. Kyle McGowan, formerly CDC chief of staff, and Amanda Campbell, formerly deputy chief, started their inaugural lobbying work through Ascendant Strategic Partners, the firm they left the agency to jointly found. In August, McGowen told Politico that he'd stayed with the agency longer than planned due to the pandemic, which the CDC has been criticized for its handling of. McGowan and Campbell are lobbying on unspecified COVID-19 health-care and Medicare/Medicaid issues for the Nomad Group, a New Jersey-based tech and environmental consulting firm. Neither had ever registered as a lobbyist before. Both previously worked for ex-Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.) and moved to the Department of Health and Human Services when Price became HHS secretary in 2017. They joined the CDC in 2018. Some people and organizations who "caught our eye" last week:Hill Departures - Jon Black, formerly Senior Policy Adviser to Rep. Sanford Bishop (D-GA)
