Walgreens adds GOP Senate aide

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Feb. 11, 2020

For one GOP Senate aide, a new job with Walgreen Co. was just what the doctor ordered.

Samantha Elleson is now a federal government-relations manager for the pharmacy-store chain. Walgreens spent north of $3 million to lobby on pharmacy and consumer issues last year.

Elleson spent the last five years working for Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), most recently as his senior legislative assistant handling his health-care portfolio.
