GOP Homeland Security staffer heads to AWS

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on May 5, 2022

A Republican House staffer has moved to Amazon Web Services's government-affairs and public-policy team.

Jon Ferro is now a public-policy specialist for the cloud-computing giant. Amazon and its subsidiaries, including AWS, spent more than $19.3 million on federal lobbying last year, according to Open Secrets.

Ferro comes from the House Homeland Security Committee, where he was deputy general counsel under ranking member John Katko (R-N.Y.). He's also worked for then-Reps. Doug Collins (R-Ga.) and Dan Donovan (R-N.Y.).
