Caught Our Eye

Fischer's new staffer was anti-pork lobbyist

Posted by Steve Shapiro on Oct. 29, 2015

A former lobbyist for Citizens Against Government Waste joined Sen. Debra Fischer (R-Neb.) this month and must be looking to prove that he's worth every penny.

Philip Austin has taken the position of legislative assistant with Fischer and will be covering finance, labor, taxation and housing issues for Nebraska's senior senator. This new role follows a position as associate director of policy and government affairs at the think tank and advocacy group, Citizens Against Government Waste. Austin worked for CAGW for four and a half years, starting in 2011 as a policy and government affairs associate.

During his time with CAGW, Austin lobbied for the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste, CAGW's lobbying arm, on issues related to budgeting and on numerous House bills. 

Austin's position with Fischer also marks a return to the Hill for the staffer as he held a salaried internship over the summer of 2009 with the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee.

Subjects: Sen. Deb Fischer (R-NE); Philip James Austin (P.J.); Citizens Against Government Waste; Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee
