Consulting group taps Cole staffer for lobby job

Posted by Jenna Ebersole on April 14, 2015

A legislative staffer for Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.) has registered to lobby at his new consulting job on behalf of Oklahoma State University.

Stratton Edwards was Cole's legislative counsel until last month, leaving after five years working in various positions in the office. Edwards now serves as legislative counsel at the Capitol Hill Consulting Group.

The lobbyist got his start on the Hill in 2003 as a staff assistant in another Oklahoma Republican's office, Rep. John Sullivan. For the university and university's Center for Health Sciences, Edwards has filed papers to advocate on health care, taxes, agriculture and education issues as well as homeland security.

Edwards, who has degrees from Washington University of St. Louis and George Washington University, has also worked in internships at the Department of the Interior and Marathon Oil Corp.
