New scheduler joins Thornberry's office from government affairs world

Posted by Jenna Ebersole on Aug. 18, 2015

Rep. Mac Thornberry (R-Texas) has powered his office with a new scheduler who worked in policy and government relations at Edison Electric Institute.

Ariel McCord never filed a lobbying registration for the association of shareholder-owned electric power companies, but she has worked at EEI since 2011, most recently as senior coordinator of policy and external affairs. She started with Thornberry this month after leaving K Street behind.

EEI registers to lobby regularly on a range of environmental, energy, taxation, homeland security and transportation issues. McCord joined EEI a year after graduating from Vanderbilt University with a bachelor's in political science, corporate strategy and philosophy.
