Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Oct. 14, 2021

Retired Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen (R-N.J.), former chair of the powerful House Appropriations Committee, has signed on as a foreign agent to Mexico.

Greenberg Traurig recently disclosed Frelinghuysen's addition to the law firm's existing contract with the Secretariat of Economy, Mexico's econonic department. Frelinghuysen's work involves tracking implementation of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement and outreach to U.S. government officials, media and "other opinion leaders" on U.S.-Mexico relations.

Frelinghuysen, who served in Congress from 1995–2019, joined Greenberg Traurig last year and counts Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba among his lobbying clients.
