Sen. Wicker LA moves to Koch-funded AFP

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Aug. 25, 2023

A staffer to Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) has traded the Hill for a Koch brothers' lobbying group.

Daniel Tillson joined Americans for Prosperity this month as a federal liaison. The influential right-wing advocacy group, which serves as the primary lobbying outfit to funders David and Charles Koch, disclosed spending about $1.5 million on its federal lobbying program in the last year.

Tillson was most recently a legislative assistant handling Wicker's foreign affairs and homeland security portfolio. Wicker is ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
