BGR Group nabs Senate health-policy expert as VP

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Jan. 10, 2017

The influential BGR Group has added a longtime Senate health-policy expert to its roster.

Robb Walton comes to the lobbying firm as a vice president from the office of Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.), for whom he had worked since 2012, most recently as senior health-policy counsel. The Baltimore, Md. native got his start in the Senate as a research assistant to the HELP Committee in 2010.

BGR Group was founded in 1991 by Reagan aide Ed Rogers and former Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour. The firm's 2016 clients include heavy hitters such as Chevron and the American Health Care Association, as well as the government of India and Thailand's exiled former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra.
