Chief to ex-Rep. Schrader heads to Bluestone Strategies

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Jan. 5, 2023

Ex-Rep. Kurt Schrader's (D-Ore.) chief of staff has moved to K Street.

Chris Huckleberry is now a partner at Bluestone Strategies. The government-affairs firm represents health-care heavyweights including America's Health Insurance Plans, Kaiser Permanente and the Pharmaceutical Care Management Association.

Huckleberry is a former lobbyist for Qwest Communications International (later acquired by CenturyLink, now Lumen Technologies) and worked for then-Reps. Mike Capuano (D-Ore.) and Darlene Hooley (D-Ore.). He worked for Schrader from 2009, just months after the congressman took office, until Schrader's departure from Congress at the end of last term.
