Transportation and commerce lobbyist joins Rep. Miller's staff as legislative director

Posted by LegiStorm on Aug. 29, 2014

A former lobbyist with a specialty in transportation and commerce has joined Rep. Gary Miller's (R-Calif.) staff as the congressman's top policy aide.

Yvette Wissmann left her job as director for government relations at the American Shipping and Logistics Group earlier this month. Before joining the Group, Wissmann spent almost a decade lobbying for K Street firm K&L Gates. While there, Wissmann represented clients in the maritime, railroad and airline industries.

Wissmann will handle commerce and foreign trade issues for Miller, who serves on the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. 

Joining Miller's office marks a return to Capitol Hill for Wissman, who worked as a legislative correspondent in Rep. Duncan Hunter's (R-Calif.) office between 2001 and 2003. She also earned an MA in political science with an emphasis on lobbying and government relations from American University during that time.
