Senate Judiciary counsel sings a different tune

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Sept. 8, 2023

A senior attorney to Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats has a new job, and it's music to her ears.

Avery Gardiner is now at Spotify, where she'll work on global competition policy. Gardiner was most recently chief technology counsel to Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) and chief counsel to the Judiciary Committee's Competition Policy, Antitrust and Consumer Rights Subcommittee, which Klobuchar chairs.

The streaming giant runs a small but influential in-house lobbying team that works on issues from artificial intelligence to technology-industry competition. Scott Wilson, one of Spotify's two registered lobbyists, is also an alumnus of Senate Judiciary Democrats.
