A senior policy aide for Rep. Peter Roskam (R-Ill.) has leveraged his considerable health care policy experience to become a lobbyist, taking on a number of health care-related clients.
Luke Hatzis left his position as Roskam's legislative director in March to serve as a principal for Capitol Counsel LLC. So far, his clients include Health Care Service Corp., Healthcare Leadership Council and Sanofi U.S. Services Inc., according to lobbying filings.
Prior to joining the private sector, Hatzis spent over ten years on the Hill. He started as a staff assistant in Speaker Denny Hastert's (R-Ill.) personal office and eventually transitioned into his Speaker's office. In 2007, Hatzis moved to the House Republican Conference Committee to serve as a floor assistant and later as a policy analyst. After two years with the Republican Conference, Hatzis became a clerk for the House Rules Committee. Hatzis also served some time in Rep. John Shimkus' (R-Ill.) office before settling down in Roskam's office.
As legislative director for Roskam, Hatzis assisted with the congressman's Ways and Means subcommittee assignments which included the Health Subcommittee.
