House GOP veteran heads to Alzheimer's Association

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Nov. 21, 2019

A short-lived House chief has moved to the Alzheimer's Association.

Catherine Knowles joined the nonprofit as director of federal affairs earlier this month. The Alzheimer's Association disclosed nearly $1.7 million spent on federal lobbying in the first half of 2019.

Knowles most recently served as Rep. Kay Granger's (R-Texas) chief of staff, a position she held from August to September. Granger's office is on its fourth chief of staff in six months and currently has the highest turnover rate in Congress, according to a LegiStorm analysis.

Knowles first worked for Granger from 2005-2009 and has served as deputy chief of staff to Rep. Susan Brooks (R-Ind.) and former Rep. John Culberson (R-Texas). She's also worked in policy for Fight Colorectal Cancer, an advocacy group.
