Ohio steel company steals Rep. Gibbs' chief of staff

Posted by Katie Barrows on March 19, 2014

The top aide to an Ohio Republican has been hired for a government affairs job with a manufacturer of high-performance steel products.

Ryan Stenger has joined the Timken Co. as director of government affairs after serving as Rep. Bob Gibbs' (R-Ohio) chief of staff for the last three years. Timken Co. is headquartered in Canton, Ohio and has been manufacturing steel products since the 19th century. Although Stenger has not yet filed as a lobbyist, recent lobbying filings show that Timken lobbied Congress on issues related to the Affordable Care Act, the Employee Workplace Freedom Act and the Pension Protection Act.

Stenger came to the Hill in 2010 after working as a managing partner for the Ohio Political Network LLC.
