Caught Our Eye

Another aide to Sen. Portman leaves for NAM

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Jan. 11, 2019

The National Association of Manufacturers has poached its third aide to Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) in a year.

Renn Osborne, previously Portman's speechwriter, joins the behemoth trade group this month as strategic messaging manager. He will act as a speechwriter for audiences that include policymakers. The advocacy group has not yet disclosed its fourth-quarter lobbying expenses but, based on its filings through the third quarter, was on track to drop about $9 million on lobbying last year.

Last year, NAM hired Portman aides Stephanie Hall as director for innovation policy and Todd Shelton as public affairs director for Ohio and Pennsylvania.
