Vegas trips lead to new job for Dem tech policy aide

Posted by Nate Hoffman on Oct. 29, 2014

As a congressional aide, Michael Hayes traveled to the glitzy Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas twice courtesy of the Consumer Electronics Association. He apparently liked it so much that he has now gone to work for them.

Hayes has been hired as a government affairs manager for the electronics industry's trade association. The CEA sponsored Hayes' only two privately financed trips while he was working as a legislative assistant and technology policy aide for Rep. Pete DeFazio (D-Ore.). The Vegas trips cost the CEA $2,820 total.

The Consumer Electronics Show is one of the most popular trips for members of Congress and their staff. The CEA has paid $867,712 for 519 trips since 2000.

Michael Hayes started his congressional career with DeFazio as a legislative correspondent in 2009. Two years later, he was promoted to legislative assistant and covered technology and intellectual property issues for the Oregonian Democrat. Hayes earned his BA in economics from the University of Oregon, where he also minored in business administration and Spanish.

Subjects: Michael Patrick Hayes; Former Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-OR); Consumer Technology Association
