Zeldin staffer takes advocacy job

Posted by Jenna Ebersole on Sept. 4, 2015

A former Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-N.Y.) staffer has gained a healthy interest in the lobbying world.

Philip Goglas has started as a legislative associate at the Health and Medicine Counsel of Washington, where he will be helping to represent client interests on Capitol Hill, according to his LinkedIn profile. Goglas served as Zeldin's executive assistant between January and May.

Goglas has not yet filed a lobbying registration, but his new employer regularly registers to lobby for a variety of clients. This year the organization has lobbied on behalf of the American Liver Foundation, the Crohns and Colitis Foundation and the National Council for Diversity in Health Professions, among others.

Goglas has a 2014 bachelor's in government and politics from University of Maryland College Park. He also coordinated volunteers for Zeldin's campaign and worked as a firefighter for the Central Islip Fire Department until taking his position with the congressman in January.
