Ex-congressman registers as White House lobbyist

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on July 16, 2019

Ex-Rep. Bill Shuster (R-Pa.) has officially registered as a lobbyist.

Shuster is lobbying through Squire Patton Boggs on behalf of TerreStar Corp. TerreStar, which declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2010 and is now largely dormant, is involved in a dispute over use of its wireless spectrum.

Shuster is part of a SPB team lobbying the White House Office on "support for deployment of ... wireless telemetry spectrum resources for remote monitoring of critical care patients," according to a disclosure the law firm filed yesterday. He joined the lobbying firm as a senior policy adviser in February after retiring from Congress at the end of last term. This is his first federal lobbying filing.
