Two GOP ex-congressmen register as lobbyists

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Sept. 17, 2019

Two former GOP congressmen registered as lobbyists in the last week.

Ex-Rep. John Culberson (Texas) is working through Clark Hill on behalf of ColorTokens, a cybersecurity company, and Shipcom Wireless, a supply-chain tech company, according to a pair of recent disclosures. Culberson, who lost his 2018 reelection bid, joined the Clark Hill's government and public affairs practice group last spring.

Ex-Rep. Pat Meehan (Pa.), who left Congress mid-2018 after ackowledging that he had used taxpayer funds to settle a sexual harrassment claim, registered as a lobbyist on tariff issues for Almo Corp. The Pennsylvania wholesaler was one of the congressman's largest campaign donors, and the company's president and vice president previously maxed out their contributions to Meehan's reelection efforts.
