House E&C Democrat heads to CTIA

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Jan. 23, 2023

CTIA - The Wireless Association has hired a government-affairs manager from one of its favorite representatives.

Chloë Rodriguez joined the trade group from the House Energy and Commerce Committee, where she was deputy chief clerk Rep. Frank Pallone (D-N.J.). CTIA spent nearly $14 million on its federal lobbying program last year, making it one of Washington's top lobbying spenders.

As top Democrat on the E&C Committee, Pallone has long worked with CTIA and helped to pass industry friendly legislation. The trade group's PAC gave $10,000 to Pallone's campaign last cycle, per Federal Election Commission filings.
