Telecom lobbyist returns to the House as chief of staff

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Sept. 15, 2020

A telecom lobbyist has returned to Rep. Tony Cárdenas (D-Calif.), now as his chief of staff.

Tejasi Thatte spent the last year at NCTA, where she was vice president of government relations and a registered lobbyist. The broadband and cable TV group has spent more than $14.7 million on federal lobbying in the last year.

Thatte first joined Cárdenas' office in 2016 and worked her way up to become the congressman's deputy chief and legislative director.
