Sen. Warner aide picks Apple for tax-policy job

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Dec. 19, 2017

After almost three years with Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), a tax expert has found a new job at Apple.

Maureen Downes most recently served as Warner's senior policy adviser handling his tax portfolio. She now handles corporate tax policy for the technology behemoth.

Apple's tax-related lobbying includes work on tax reform, sales tax and digital-goods taxation. The corporation is on track to spend about $7.3 million lobbying on federal issues through its in-house team and another $1.4 million through contracts with outside firms.
