Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Jan. 19, 2021 Ex-Rep. Jeff Miller (R-Fla.) has left Mercury Public Affairs to work for one of his existing lobbying clients. Miller helped to open the Department of Veterans Affairs to lobbying interests during his time as Veterans' Affairs Committee chair and has since made a career of lobbying the department, as Politico Magazine detailed in 2019. Miller is now senior vice president of government affairs for CareSource, an Ohio-based health-care nonprofit and one of the country's largest Medicaid plan providers. He'd spent the last year at Mercury Public Affairs. CareSource has been Miller's lobbying client on VA issues since 2019, when he worked for McDermott Will & Emery.
