Lobbyist joins Rep. Whitfield's staff

Posted by Sean Myers on Jan. 26, 2016

A large lobbying firm's office manager is the new scheduler for Rep. Ed Whitfield (R-Ky.).

Rachael Smyth had been the office manager of the Normandy Group since June 2013, performing administrative and logistical tasks for the firm and its portfolio of major clients. In July 2015, she also took on the role of federal affairs assistant, allowing her to get closer to the lobbying action.

Smyth joins Whitfield's staff as scheduler and will put her degrees in business management and political science to use. Smyth and Whitfield have in common a commitment to their faiths: She traveled to the Dominican Republic as a Bible school volunteer in December 2012, and Whitfield has donated nearly $15,000 to the Wesley Theological Seminary during his 21 years in office.
