AAMC hires Manchin's health legislative aide

Posted by Jenna Ebersole on Aug. 12, 2015

A former legislative staffer for Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) who covered health issues has registered to lobby for the Association of American Medical Colleges.

Clay Crabtree worked as Manchin's liaison to organizations advocating on prescription drug, health care, trade and budget issues, according to his LinkedIn profile. He is now lobbying for the association on health professions education, medical research and public health budget and appropriations issues.

The association has a long history of lobbying on behalf of the academic medical community.

Crabtree joined Manchin's office as a staff assistant and rose to legislative aide earlier this year before moving to the lobbying world. He has a 2012 bachelor's in biology from Marshall University.
