Former Merck lobbyist returns to Congress as Plaskett chief of staff

Posted by Steve Shapiro on Sept. 10, 2015

Rep. Stacey Plaskett (D-U.S. Virgin Islands) has a new prescription for one of her chief ailments: the need for a chief of staff.

The first-term congresswoman has hired a former drug company lobbyist to fill her top staff position. This month, Jerome Murray has taken over as chief of staff for the lawmaker.

For four years previously, Murray worked for Merck as their director of U.S. policy and government relations. He registered to lobby on a variety of issues related to health care including non-intervention in Medicare, drug patent policies, Affordable Care Act implementation and the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement.

Murray has held several positions on the Hill in the past, beginning with a five-year stint in the office of Rep. Chaka Fattah (D-Pa.). After serving as Fattah's legislative director, Murray took on the role of associate director for the Senate Democratic Conference Committee under Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.). He returned to the House in 2009 as Rep. G.K. Butterworth's (D-N.C.) legislative director.

 

Subjects: Jerome T. Murray; Delegate Stacey Plaskett (D-VI); Former Rep. Chaka Fattah (D-PA); Former Rep. G.K. Butterfield (D-NC); Merck & Co. Inc.
