Federal Advocates adds to staff from both sides of aisle

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on May 19, 2017

Federal Advocates, a lobbying firm specializing in securing federal funds for clients, picked up a pair of Hill aides this month.

Peter Mihalick, now the firm's director of government affairs, worked for Rep. Rod Blum (R-Iowa) as legislative director before switching jobs in November to become Rep. James Comer's (R-Ky.) deputy chief of staff and legislative director. The Comer job didn't last long, with Mihalick tweeting in December that he had been fired.

David Gellman, now a legislative assistant at the lobbying firm, spent the last two years working as a legislative correspondent to Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-Ariz.).
