Former lobbyist leaves Perry's office for policy job off the Hill

Posted by Jenna Ebersole on March 13, 2015

Rep. Scott Perry's (R-Pa.) legislative director has returned to the advocacy world.

Marianne Adezio Myers started this month as director of health policy at the Lung Cancer Alliance. The job comes after about four years of working as a legislative director on the Hill, but she got her start at the Capitol more than a decade ago.

Myers took her first congressional job in 2001 as a legislative assistant for Todd Platts (R-Pa.), remaining with the office until 2004 and leaving as his legislative director. She later registered to lobby from 2005 to 2010 while working for GolinHarris.

Myers left K Street in 2011 to rejoin Platts' staff, once again as legislative director, until his retirement in 2013. She has worked as Perry's legislative director since then.

During her previous lobbying stint, Myers advocated for clients including the Home Safety Council, National Industries for the Blind and several community colleges and universities.

Myers' new employer is a leading nonprofit in the fight against lung cancer, working to support patients and advocate on their behalf, according to its website.
