Rep. O'Rourke snags human-rights lobbyist

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on June 1, 2018

Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-Texas) could be just months from losing a Senate challenge to Ted Cruz (R-Texas), but that isn't stopping a human-rights lobbyist from joining his office.

Kat Cosgrove comes to O'Rourke's office from Human Rights First, where she spent four years lobbying on civil rights and defense issues.

She joins O'Rourke as a military legislative assistant. O'Rouke will give up his House seat to challenge Cruz in November. As of yesterday, polls show the congressman trailing Cruz by 11 points.
