Senate aide bringing legislative energy to lobbying world

Posted by Nate Hoffman on Sept. 30, 2014

A senior Senate staffer from the Energy and Natural Resources Committee has taken his Hill expertise to the Bockorny Group.

Luke Theriot signed on as a principal for the lobbying giant after serving as a research analyst for Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-La.), since she took over the committee six months ago.

Bockorny Group has a broad-based lobbying practice. One energy- and natural resources-related cause the firm has taken up is that of a Key Largo, Fla.-based client, Ocean Reef Community Association, in matters regarding Biscayne National Park in the waters south of Miami. 

Theriot brings with him more than six years of congressional knowledge. The LSU grad started off as a district aide for Rep. Charlie Melancon (D-La.) before becoming his district director. After a two-year absence, Theriot followed Landrieu as a fellow on the Senate Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee, where he stayed until she became the top senator on the Energy and Natural Resources Committee.
