Former rep. and Army secretary lobbying for defense sales

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on July 22, 2016

After joining K&L Gates in June, former Rep. John McHugh (R-N.Y.) has wasted no time filing as a federal lobbyist.

McHugh, who served as secretary of the Army from 2009 to 2015, is lobbying on behalf of the U.S. India Security Council regarding National Defense Authorization Act issues related to U.S.-India military cooperation and sales.

McHugh was elected to Congress in 1992 and was a ranking member of the Armed Services Committee at the time of his nomination to be Army secretary.
