Former Hill aide lobbying on immigration, veterans' issues for Amazon

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Aug. 1, 2016

As she makes her federal lobbying debut, former Hill aide Laurie Ellington is hoping for a five-star review from her bosses at Amazon.

Ellington, who has worked as the online retailer's manager of U.S. public policy since last fall, recently filed as a lobbyist for the first time.

According to lobbying disclosures, Ellington is advocating for issues related to high-skilled immigration, veterans' hiring and training, net neutrality, IP-address policy, STEM education and more.

She previously worked as manager of external and state affairs to CTIA - The Wireless Association and, before that, as a legislative assistant to Rep. Ed Pastor (D-Ariz.).
