McCaul chief of staff takes position at Levick

Posted by Jenna Ebersole on May 7, 2015

Rep. Michael McCaul's (R-Texas) chief of staff has moved to a firm where one of his former bosses on the Hill is registered to lobby.

Hans Klingler started as McCaul's chief of staff in 2013 and also has experience working as former Rep. Connie Mack's (R-Fla.) chief of staff from 2010-11 and as deputy chief of staff to the House Republican Conference from 2011-13. He now serves as senior vice president at Levick Strategic Communications LLC, where Mack is executive vice president.

Klingler registered to lobby once before while working at Arnold Public Affairs, where he advocated between 2002 and 2004 for the Danielle Dawn Smalley Foundation. Levick lobbies for a range of clients, from Texas Roadhouse Inc. to the Turkish Institute for Progress.

Klingler, who has a bachelor's from Texas Tech University, also worked on the Hill in the 1990s as political director for then-Sen. Phil Gramm (R-Texas).
