Medical-research groups adds House LD

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on April 10, 2019

A legislative director has left the Hill for a medical-research advocacy group.

Anna Platt is now senior manager for policy and advocacy for Research!America. The non-profit outsources its lobbying efforts, which mainly cover health-care and appropriations issues.

She comes from the office of Rep. Anthony Brown (D-Md.). Platt had spent more than a decade on the Hill, previously working for ex-Rep. Niki Tsongas (D-Mass.) and Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.). She also worked for ex-Sen. Arlen Specter (Pa.) during his party switch from Republican to Democrat.
