Nugent staffer moves to lobbying firm

Posted by John Brodish on Sept. 12, 2014

A legislative staffer for Rep. Rich Nugent (R-Fla.) has left Congress to be director of government affairs for The Charles Group LLC, a lobbying and consulting firm.

Laura Cooper was most recently a legislative assistant for Nugent's office. She began working for Nugent in 2011 as legislative correspondent, and was promoted to legislative assistant later that year.  Cooper covered issues related to the environment and animals, government operations, public lands, Native Americans, science and transit.

Cooper holds a bachelor's in history from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.  

The Charles Group bills itself as " chiefly for those focused on law enforcement, homeland security, high technology and national security sectors."
