Former staffer and MCI lobbyist back on Hill

Posted by LegiStorm on June 10, 2016
Former staffer-turned-lobbyist Seth Maiman is on Capitol Hill representing the interests of Pacific islands roughly midway between Australia and Japan.
 
But he's not a foreign agent for an obscure island nation. He's the new legislative director for Gregario Kilili Camacho Sablan, the congressman for the Northern Mariana Islands.

From 1989 to 1993, Maiman was chief of staff to Rep. Frank Pallone (D-N.J.). He then worked for telecom giant MCI for more than a decade, after which he joined the Close Up Foundation in 2007 as director of government relations. The foundation brings thousands of students and teachers to Washington to dialogue with lawmakers, media and fellow students.  

In 2013 he started his own company and until he joined Sablan's office, was principal of Maiman Political Consulting. His political consulting projects included managing a state legislative campaign and leading a political analysis project for an environmental organization. 

Maiman graduated from University at Albany, State University of New York and American University Washington College of Law.
