Short-lived lobbyist rejoins California delegation

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on June 15, 2021

A Democratic staffer is back on the Hill after a very brief lobbying stint.

John Lynch started this week as legislative director to Rep. Jim Costa (D-Calif.). He'll also take the reigns of the congressman's budget, trade and natural-resources portfolios.

Lynch spent the last three months at government-relations firm Platinum Advisors, where his lobbying clients included the Pokemon Co. and popular whiskey maker Irish Distillers. Before that, he worked for then-Rep. T.J. Cox (D-Calif.) and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.).
