Bilirakis adviser jumps to American Public Works Association

Posted by Jenna Ebersole on May 8, 2015

A Republican senior policy adviser in the House has taken a government affairs position at a nonprofit registered to lobby Congress.

Josh Reiner, who has served in several roles in the office of Rep. Gus Bilirakis (R-Fla.) since 2012, became government affairs manager at the American Public Works Association in April. He has worked on the Hill since 2007, beginning in Rep. Wally Herger's (R-Calif.) office as a staff assistant and systems administrator.

APWA lobbies on a variety of issues, from highway and transportation funding to FEMA. Reiner, who has a bachelor's from Southwestern University and a master's from George Washington University's Graduate School of Political Management, has no record of registering to lobby.
