General Dynamics hires another Hill aide

Posted by Jenna Ebersole on June 3, 2015

A Senate Armed Services Committee clerk for the Democrats has found new work managing government relations for General Dynamics Corp.

Travis Smith took his new job in May after leaving the Senate in February, where he worked for nearly a decade. He started as staff assistant on the Senate Rules and Administration Committee in 2006, joining the Armed Services Committee in 2007 as special assistant.

General Dynamics is a leading defense company with a long history of seeking influence on the Hill. The company employs lobbyists on a variety of issues, including defense funding, education, taxes and the Export-Import Bank.

Smith started on the Hill after graduating from the University of Mary Washington in 2006 with a bachelor's in political science.
