Energy-reform group adds GOP LD

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on March 13, 2019

An energy-reform advocacy group has powered up with the hire of a former Republican congressional aide.

Alex Hutkin joins Securing America's Future Energy, which advocates on economic and national security grounds for reduced oil dependence, as a manager for free oil markets. Hutkin most recently served as legislative director and deputy chief of staff to ex-Rep. Steve Russell (R-Okla.), who lost his reelection bid, and has also worked for Rep. Vicky Hartzler (R-Mo.).

SAFE last year spent about $330,000 on federal lobbying, split between its in-house shop and a contract with ex-Rep. Randy Tate (R-Wash.).
