Senior staffer returns to Senate following lobbying gig

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Aug. 31, 2021

With a new lobbying job under his belt, a high-powered GOP staffer is back in the Senate.

Viraj Mirani started this month as legislative director to Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.). He comes from King & Spalding, where he worked a brief stint as senior government-relations adviser.

Mirani has previously worked as chief of staff to then-Sen. Dan Coats (R-Ind.), a title he reprised under Coats when the senator became the director of national intelligence. Mirani has also worked for the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee and led the Joint Economic Committee, in addition to having held several previous lobbying jobs.
