Trade staffer pops over to Coca-Cola

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Feb. 12, 2024

A former House staffer and trade expert is now quenching her thirst with Coca-Cola.

Katie Morley is now director for federal and diplomatic relations at the Coca-Cola Co. Last year, the beverage giant spent nearly $4 million to lobby the federal government on a host of issues ranging from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, to plastics recycling, to trade with China.

Morley was most recently Rep. Adrian Smith's (R-Neb.) senior legislative assistant and top trade adviser. Smith chairs the Ways and Means Committee's Trade Subcommittee and sits on the Joint Committee on Taxation.
