International Olympic Committee heads to Washington

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Oct. 25, 2019

Well ahead of the Olympics' return to the U.S., the International Olympic Committee has resumed its lobbying presence in Washington — with the help of a former Senate majority leader.

The governing body has contracted with the Daschle Group for work on a host of lobbying issues: "athletics, foreign policy, health issues, environment, communications/broadcasting, immigration, and human rights," according to a disclosure filed yesterday. The lobbying team includes firm founder and ex-Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-S.D.), as well as his son, firm president Nathan Daschle.

This is the IOC's first Washington lobbying work since 2007. Los Angeles, Calif. will be the next U.S. city to host the Olympics, in 2028.
