Cochran adds onetime lobbyist as legislative staffer

Posted by Jenna Ebersole on Sept. 9, 2015

Sen. Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) has turned to his home state to hire a new legislative assistant.

Mary Martha Henson started with Cochran in August after leaving her position as an executive director at the Mississippi Economic Development Council. She has past experience on the Hill as a staff assistant and legislative assistant for Rep. Chip Pickering (R-Miss.) from 2003 to 2009.

After her previous stint in Congress, Henson also worked at the Mississippi Biotechnology Association and registered to lobby for Capitol Resources LLC while serving as a government relations professional. 

Henson lobbied for a range of organizations, including the Greater Jackson Chamber Partnership, the Mississippi Organ Recovery Agency Inc. and the Mississippi Farm Bureau between 2009 and 2010.
