National Governors Association takes a lobbying turn

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Aug. 9, 2016

The National Governors Association, with offices almost as close as they come to the Capitol, has always had its share of influence in Washington. But the group representing the nation's governors has finally made its influence official by hiring its first federal lobbyist.

Nelson Mullins Riley and Scarborough is representing the bipartisan organization on "state/federal issues related to state taxation and the National Guard... before Congress and the Administration," according to the form.

According to the organization's website, the NGA provides to governors "services that range from representing states on Capitol Hill and before the Administration on key federal issues to developing and implementing innovative solutions to public policy challenges through the NGA Center for Best Practices."
