Amazon fills order for food-policy lobbyist

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Dec. 12, 2017

After six years with the Grocery Manufacturers Association, a food-policy lobbyist has shipped off to Amazon.

William Tatum is now the online behemoth's manager of public policy for food. He had worked as GMA's director of federal affairs since 2011 and has also worked as a lobbyist for the Consortium of Social Science Associations.

Amazon has so far disclosed about $11.64 million in lobbying. The company's subsidiaries include recently acquired Whole Foods and grocery-delivery service AmazonFresh.
