Two Hill aides a day leaving to lobby

Posted by Nate Hoffman on April 28, 2014

Each business day this year, two congressional aides on average traded in their Capitol badges for jobs as federally registered lobbyists.

In the first quarter, 129 congressional staffers filed lobbying registrations, records show. This figure was evenly split along partisan lines. By comparison, 328 former staffers became lobbyists during the entire last election year of 2012.

Paula Burg was one such staffer. She is now Pfizer's new senior director of federal government relations after serving as the Senate Budget Committee's director and senior adviser of health and entitlements under Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.). Jake Menefee is another. He was Rep. Jim Renacci's (R-Ohio) deputy chief of staff before becoming Marathon Petroleum Corp.'s federal government affairs manager.

The switch from public service to K Street comes as many staffers are frustrated by political gridlock, stagnant wages and uncertainty from the upcoming mid-term election.

LegiStorm is able to track the revolving door in detail by gathering all lobbying registrations and monitoring the job movements of congressional staff in real time.

Subjects: Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA); Jake Ellis Menefee; Former Rep. Jim Renacci (R-OH); Paula J. Burg; Pfizer Inc.; Senate Budget Committee; Marathon Petroleum Corp.
