Two more ex-members register as first-time lobbyists

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on April 25, 2022

Two more ex-members have officially passed through the revolving door.

Alpine Advisers recently added former Rep. Greg Walden (R-Ore.) to its lobbying contract with ASML US, a subsidiary of Dutch multinational corporation ASML Holdings. ASML Holdings develops and produces systems that are used in semiconductor manufacturing. Walden was formerly ranking member of the Energy and Commerce Committee.

Former Rep. Pete Olson (R-Texas) also registered as a lobbyist on behalf of Mewbourne Oil Co. Olson and former Rep. Jim Turner (D-Texas) are part of a Hance Scarborough team working on oil and natural-gas leasing, drilling and operating issues for the Southwestern producer.

Both Olson and Turner retired from Congress at the end of last term and are newly eligible to lobby the House under ethics rules. Former Reps. Bradley Byrne (R-Ala.), Pete King (R-N.Y.), Mike Conaway (R-Texas) and Martha Roby (R-Ala.) have also registered as first-time lobbyists in the year's first quarter.
