Banking lobbyist returns to his old boss on the Hill

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Jan. 14, 2021

A lobbying stint later, an old aide to Rep. Greg Meeks (D-N.Y.) is back with the congressman, this time as chief of staff.

Ernie Jolly comes from the Mortgage Bankers Association, where he was associate vice president and a registered federal lobbyist. Before leaving for the real-estate finance group in 2019, he was Meeks' deputy chief.

During Jolly's tenure, the association kept strong ties to Meeks, bringing him on as a conference speaker and donating $10,000 to each his campaign committee and PAC. Meeks chaired the Financial Services Committee's Consumer Protection and Financial Institutions Subcommittee last term.
