Oversight and Reform Committee counsel finds her Match

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on March 30, 2020

A Democratic counsel has swiped right on a new job.

Yvette Badu-Nimako is now director of government relations at Match Group, which owns Tinder, OkCupid, Match.com and other dating sites and apps. The company just began federal lobbying last fall, launching its own in-house team and contracting with Squire Patton Boggs.

Badu-Nimako most recently worked as senior counsel to the House Oversight and Reform Committee under chair Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.). She has also worked for former Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-N.Y.) and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and served as a congressional liaison to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
