Lobbyist turns legislative director for Neugebauer

Posted by Jenna Ebersole on Dec. 9, 2014

A onetime congressional staffer is back on the Hill after two years as a registered lobbyist.

Kelli Nelson McMorrow joined Rep. Randy Neugebauer's (R-Texas) office as legislative director last month after leaving Financial Executives International, where she was senior manager of government affairs. She left Congress in 2012 to become director of government relations for the Manufactured Housing Institute, where she also registered to lobby.

McMorrow was a senior legislative assistant to Rep. Donald Manzullo in 2012 after joining the staff as his scheduler in 2007 just after finishing her bachelor's degree at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

As a lobbyist, McMorrow advocated on financial and economic issues, including the Affordable Care Act's business impact, and the National Defense Authorization Act.
