Gowdy hires lobbyist, former intern to cover legislative issues

Posted by Jenna Ebersole on Aug. 21, 2015

Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) has hired a former intern who has registered to lobby with Whitmer and Worrall LLC on a variety of issues since 2013.

Mariel Calhoun, originally of Spartanburg, S.C., has lobbied for a range of clients while working as a senior associate at the company, including Rotech Healthcare Inc., Bcast Inc. and the Geosynthetic Materials Association. She rejoined Gowdy's office this month as a legislative assistant handling energy, environmental protection, public lands and natural resources and telecommunications issues.

Calhoun also has past experience in 2011 as American Assistant to a European member of parliament, Niki Tzavela, while working on her bachelor's degree in political science from Furman University. She graduated in 2012 and took a position with Whitmer and Worrall.
