Longtime GOP aide heads to FTI

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Aug. 19, 2021

FTI Consulting's slowly dwindling lobbying arm has won over a longtime GOP Senate staffer.

John Steitz recently started managing director for government affairs for the business-advisory firm. FTI terminated several of its most lucrative lobbying contracts over the last few months and is on track to bring in about $2 million in lobbying revenue this year, down from a high of $8 million in 2015.

Steitz comes from the office of Sen. John Neely Kennedy (R-La.), where he was deputy chief of staff for policy. He's also worked for the Senate Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee, then-Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.).
