HELP Committee picks up pharma policy director

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Feb. 24, 2017

After two years with a biopharmaceutical company's advocacy arm, Jennifer Boyer has returned to the Senate as a senior health policy adviser to the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee's Republican side.

The Colorado native spent two years as director of policy and advocacy for Alkermes Inc., which spent more than $4.46 million on its in-house lobbyists last year, and an additional $1.55 million on advocacy work through lobbying firms. The company focuses on diseases of the central nervous system.

Before joining Alkermes in 2014, the Coloradoan spent several years with the Senate, including as a health policy adviser to Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.).
