Cardin staffer moves off Hill to lobby for Navy

Posted by LegiStorm on Oct. 8, 2014

A former staffer for Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.) has officially registered to lobby on issues affecting the U.S. Navy.

Edgar Rodriguez is now director of legislation and government affairs for the Association of the United States Navy. The Association is a membership organization made up of current and former sailors and officers, and it lobbies Congress "for a strong Navy." It has no formal affiliation with the Navy.

Rodriguez left Cardin's office in August after more than two years, first as a legislative correspondent, then as legislative aide.  

Rodriguez wasn't in a senior position and is allowed to begin lobbying whenever he pleases, according to Senate ethics rules. The only stipulation in place is that he cannot lobby Cardin or his staff until he has been off the Senate payroll for at least a year.

Before joining Cardin's staff, Rodriguez worked as an intern for the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and Rep. Adam Smith (D-Wash.). Prior to that he served in the U.S. Marine Corps.

Subjects: Edgar Rodriguez (Ed); Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD); Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA); U.S. Marine Corps; House Foreign Affairs Committee; Association of the U.S. Navy Inc.
