Caught Our Eye

State Department adviser serving the servers

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on April 21, 2017

A State Department adviser with seven years of Hill experience is now making sure that Congress gives full-service treatment to the country's service economies.

Hera Abbasi, now director of congressional affairs at the Coalition of Service Industries, spent two years working for then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and five years covering foreign affairs for Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.). Since leaving the Hill, she worked as a congressional adviser on European and Eurasian affairs for the State Department.

The Coalition Service Industries, which lobbies on various investment and trade issues, terminated its sole lobbying contract, with firm Sandler, Travis and Rosenberg, last year.
