Longtime staffer now swims in Aflac's pond

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on June 27, 2016

If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it must be lobbying for Aflac. So too is Rep. David Scott's (D-Ga.) long-time right-hand man, Michael Andel.

Andel has left the Hill to become Aflac's director of federal relations. He had served as chief of staff since 2006. Prior to joining Scott's as a senior legislative assistant in 2003, Andel worked as a legislative assistant for Sen. Max Cleland (D-Ga.) and as a personnel analyst for the Georgia Department of Human Resources.

Andel studied at the University of Georgia at Athens, where he was chapter president of the Young Democrats of Georgia.
