Facebook adds Dem aide to policy-comms team

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on June 10, 2020

Facebook has added a new face to its D.C. team.

Ryan Daniels comes from the office of House Democratic Whip James Clyburn, where he was deputy communications director. Before that, he was a director at the Raben Group public-policy and lobbying firm and worked in comms positions for the Obama White House and the Treasury Department.

Daniels is now policy communications manager for the social-media giant, which, like much of big tech, has recently faced increased anti-trust scrutiny. Last year, Facebook disclosed that it dropped more than $16.7 million on federal lobbying, making it the tenth biggest lobbying spender of 2019, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
