Ex-Financial Services aide heads to Chamber as lobbyist

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Jan. 24, 2019

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has made a lobbyist out of another House staffer.

Eric Rust is representing the business advocacy group on a host of accounting, finance, foreign relations and government issues, according to a recent lobbying filing. The Chamber is perennially the country's biggest spender on federal lobbying.

Rust most recently worked as a professional staff member to the House Financial Services Committee under Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas), who retired at the end of last term. Before that, he spent four years with Rep. Ann Wagner (R-Mo.).
