Ex-House LD heads to health trade group

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on March 17, 2020

A former House legislative director has finally moved to a trade group for medical-product distributors, just as the coronavirus pandemic puts part of the industry to the test.

Ryan McManus now works as government-affairs manager at the Health Industry Distributors Association. HIDA lobbies on health-care issues through outside groups and an in-house team.

McManus spent most of his professional career with former Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-Va.), who lost her 2018 reelection bid, and worked his way up to become her legislative director. For the last year, he worked in consulting.
