Rep. Pete King aide heads to firefighters' group

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Nov. 12, 2020

After seven years working for one of Congress's top advocates for firefighters, a GOP staffer has taken on an advocacy job in the industry.

Ryan Woodward joined the International Association of Fire Chiefs as government-affairs manager this month. The association has disclosed spending about $80,000 a year to lobby on issues ranging from health care to trade.

Woodward spent the last eight years with Rep. Pete King (R-N.Y.), most recently as senior legislative assistant. King, who did not run for reelection this year, co-chairs the Congressional Fire Services Caucus and has been instrumental in directing funds to 9/11 first-responder programs.
