BIO adds Sen. Wyden aide

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on April 25, 2019

The country's biggest biotechnology group has hired a Senate aide to its lobbying team.

Thomas Brunet is now the Biotechnology Innovation Organization's director of federal government relations and has already registered as a lobbyist on a host of legislative issues. He comes from the office of Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), where he most recently served as senior counsel for domestic policy.

BIO is one of the largest health-related lobbying firms and last year reported just shy of $10 million in federal lobbying expenses.
