Rep. Blumenauer staffer leaves for LCV

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on April 3, 2023

An aide to Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) has moved to the environmental-advocacy world.

Kaila Hood starts this week with the League of Conservation Voters, where she's now government-affairs advocate. Her work will focus on public lands, water and other conservation issues. Last year, LCV spent $630,000 on its federal lobbying work, including a team of about a dozen in-house lobbyists - approximately double the program's expenses and size from just five years ago.

Hood got her staffing start working in the district for Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Colo.) and was most recently Blumenauer's senior legislative assistant handling energy, environment and other legislative issues. LCV gave Blumenauer a perfect score on its most-recent voting-record scorecard. The LCV Action Fund regularly donates small sums to his reelection campaign.
