Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Sept. 25, 2023 Former Rep. Scott Garrett (R-N.J.) is now a first-time registered federal lobbyist. Per a recent disclosure, Garrett is representing Honduras Próspera Inc., a U.S.-based investment group that operates a special economic zone in Honduras. Garrett is lobbying on trade, economic development, foreign relations and immigration issues related to the zone. Garrett served in Congress from 2003-2017. After losing his 2016 election bid, Garrett became Donald Trump's pick to head the Export-Import Bank of the United States but was not confirmed. He later served as a senior adviser to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Some people and organizations who "caught our eye" last week: - Tanya Otsuka, Counsel, Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee (current staffer) – Bravo!
Getting credit - Steve Tilton, Policy Coordinator, House Energy and Commerce Committee (former staffer) – Bravo!
Getting a refill - Taylor Weyeneth, Communications Director, Rep. Brandon Williams (R-NY) (current staffer); Joseph Guy, Chief of Staff, Rep. Brandon Williams (R-NY) (current staffer); and Katie Truitt, D.C. Office Manager, Rep. Brandon Williams (R-NY) (current staffer) – Bravo!
