Senate Budget staffer takes appropriations knowledge to lobbying world

Posted by Jenna Ebersole on July 16, 2015

A Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) legislative staffer and budget analyst on the Senate Budget Committee has picked up her first lobbying clients after leaving the Hill earlier this year.

Lauren Overman served for seven years for Murray and gained extensive knowledge on appropriations and budgeting, taking it with her to lobby now for her clients on similar issues. She has registered to lobby for cities and city departments in her home state of Washington as well as on other issues for the Student Assistance Foundation and Voith Hydro Inc. as part of her job as senior federal relations associate for Strategies 360.

In addition to appropriations, Overman worked on foreign affairs, immigration, transportation, housing and banking issues, according to her S360 profile. She has a bachelor's in international affairs and political science from George Washington University.
