A telecommunications lobbyist has returned to the Senate for a legislative assistant position on the Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee's Communications, Technology, Innovation and the Internet Subcommittee under Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.).
Crystal Tully registered to lobby last year for the Competitive Carriers Association while working as director of legislative affairs for the wireless providers' group. She has also served as law clerk at the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and Federal Communications Commission since leaving the Hill in 2009.
Tully first registered to lobby between 2010 and 2012 for Charter Communications Inc. while working as manager of federal government relations.
The new committee staffer started her first stint in the Senate in 2005 as a staff assistant in Sen. John Sununu's (R-N.H.) office after graduating from the University of New Hampshire. She rose to legislative correspondent before leaving the Senate at the end of Sununu's term.
Tully has lobbied on a variety of telecommunications issues, from online piracy to cybersecurity. Her husband, Ryan Tully, is a professional staff member on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.
