Staffer turned lawyer registers as lobbyist

Posted by Sean Myers on Feb. 3, 2016

A former House staffer turned lawyer is a newly minted registered lobbyist. Daniel David Graver's path from Capitol Hill to lobbying was not a straight shot, however.

He was a legislative assistant with Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.) and former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) before leaving in mid-2008. He then went to law school at the University of Texas and spent a summer interning with the law firm and lobbying power Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP. Following Graver's graduation in 2013, he joined the firm as an associate to focus on data privacy in the health field. The firm's most recent filings as a lobbyist shows him covering issues related to the implementation of the Life Safety Code, an advisory instrument on fire and building safety.
