For freshman rep, new aide brings chemistry

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on March 1, 2017

A freshman member from a state with an active chemical industry, Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) has picked up the American Chemistry Council's political mobilization manager.

Now Johnson's legislative assistant, Marcie Smith had worked for the ACC since 2015. The trade group farmed out its 2016 lobbying activity, which included work on plastics-additives and BPA-labeling legislation.

Louisiana reportedly exports $4.5 billion in chemical products a year and is home to an estimated 23,000 chemical-industry jobs.
