Homeland Security Republicans snag evangelical lobbyist

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on July 13, 2023

Republicans have added an evangelical lobbyist to the House Homeland Security Committee.

Alexandra McPhee comes from Concerned Women for America. McPhee was a government-relations director and registered lobbyist for the conservative evangelical group. CWA, whose founder was married to the now-deceased Tim LaHaye, co-author of the "Left Behind" franchise once wildly popular in evangelical circles, lobbies on issues ranging from abortion to traditional marriage through its legislative action committee.

McPhee is joining the committee as member services director under chair Mark Green (R-Tenn.). McPhee, an attorney, is an alumnus of then-Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) and the House Judiciary Committee.
