Vanguard adds a House asset

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on June 7, 2017

Vanguard Group invested in an aide to Rep. Suzan DelBene's (D-Wash.) this month, adding her legislative director as a government relations specialist.

Ben Barasky worked on the Hill since 2011, when he joined the office of former Rep. Jason Altmire (D-Pa.). He joined DelBene's staff in 2013, rising from legislative assistant to legislative director.

The investment-management company disclosed more than $2.3 million in lobbying expenses in 2016, primarily on issues related to fiscal and monetary policies. Vanguard contributed small sums to DelBene's campaigns during the last two election cycles, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
