Rep. McKinley adds Chamber lobbyist

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Feb. 26, 2020

Rep. David McKinley's (R-W.Va.) newest hire comes straight from the country's largest spender on federal lobbying.

Jake Tyner joined McKinley's office as a policy adviser and counsel earlier this month. He spent the last four years at the Chamber of Commerce, where his title was director and associate policy counsel. Tyner is the only current member of McKinley's staff to have registered as a federal lobbyist.

According to the Center for Responsive Politics, the Chamber and its subsidiaries dropped more than $77 million on lobbying last year, easily snagging itself the top federal spending slot.
