Daines staffer launches firm in New Orleans

Posted by on March 26, 2020

After 11 years on the Hill, Republican staffer Meghan Thacker is skipping K Street and heading to Bourbon Street. The New Orleans-native has returned to her hometown to launch her own lobbying firm.

Thacker started her career as a staff assistant to Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.) and then moved through the offices of former Reps. John Fleming (R-La.) and Jeff Landry (R-La.).

She then traded the Bayou for the mountains. Thacker spent the last seven years with Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.), first in his House office and then in his current office, where she was a senior policy adviser.

Thacker has not yet registered to lobby through her new firm, Big Sky Bluewater Strategies, but is advertising government relations and issue advocacy services.
