Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Feb. 27, 2023 It took him a decade out of office, but ex-Rep. John Sullivan (R-Okla.) has finally made his first official pass through the revolving door. Sullivan registered as a first-time lobbyist through SBL Strategies, the consulting and lobbying firm that he co-founded after his House service came to an end in 2013. He's lobbying on unspecified "re-licensing" issues for Oklahoma's Grand River Dam Authority agency, per a recent disclosure. Sullivan joins the ranks of 138 other ex-members who have passed through the revolving door in the last decade. Another seven current members are former federal lobbyists.
