Marijuana lobbyist follows the green to Congress

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on June 26, 2017

The founder of a small marijuana lobby shop is back on the Hill, this time as a legislative assistant to Rep. Brian Mast (R-Fla.).

Evan Bergwall started Bergwall and Associates in 2015. His clients included marijuana dispensaries, testing laboratories and a D.C. marijuana-staffing agency.

Bergwall now handles Mast's agriculture, energy and natural resources portfolio, according to the office. He had also worked for former Rep. Cliff Stearns (R-Fla.) and the House Rules Committee.
