Ex-congressman lobbying on hometown housing issues

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on April 4, 2019

A retired congressman has made his federal lobbying debut on behalf of the city where he was once mayor.

Ex-Rep. Charlie Luken (D-Ohio), who served a single term in Congress from 1991-1993, recently registered as a federal lobbyist for the city of Cincinnati. He's operating through Calfee, Halter & Griswold, where he works as senior counsel.

The law firm is representing Cincinnati on low-income housing issues, according to a previous disclosure. Luken served as the city's mayor for seven years prior to his election to Congress and again from 1999-2005.
