Posted by Keturah Hetrick on April 3, 2023 An aide to Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) has moved to the environmental-advocacy world. Kaila Hood starts this week with the League of Conservation Voters, where she's now government-affairs advocate. Her work will focus on public lands, water and other conservation issues. Last year, LCV spent $630,000 on its federal lobbying work, including a team of about a dozen in-house lobbyists - approximately double the program's expenses and size from just five years ago. Hood got her staffing start working in the district for Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Colo.) and was most recently Blumenauer's senior legislative assistant handling energy, environment and other legislative issues. LCV gave Blumenauer a perfect score on its most-recent voting-record scorecard. The LCV Action Fund regularly donates small sums to his reelection campaign. Some people and organizations who "caught our eye" last week:Hill Moves and Promotions - Jennifer Heins, now Chief of Staff to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA)
(formerly Scheduling Director) - Lizzy Fallon, now Financial Services Policy Director to House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN)
(formerly Senior Policy Adviser) - Michael Lowry, now Chief of Staff to Rep. Robert Aderholt (R-AL)
(formerly Senior Adviser to Rep. Neal Dunn (R-FL)) - Darian Harbeck, now Senior Legislative Assistant to Rep. Paul Tonko (D-NY)
(formerly Legislative Assistant)
