Auto-dealer trade group adds DOT officer

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Feb. 10, 2021

After a valuable administration job, a seasoned lobbyist is poised to help a transportation group revamp its lobbying strategy.

Brett Scott is now vice president of government relations for the National Independent Automobile Dealers Association, which represents used-auto dealerships.

The trade group outsourced its federal lobbying work for years and only recently switched to using a single in-house lobbyist - the organization's CEO, Bob Voltmann. The NIADA has not disclosed any outside lobbying work since Voltmann came on board in October.

Scott spent the last couple of years at the U.S. Department of Transportation, where he was a senior government affairs officer focused on Congress. Before that, he was a lobbyist at the Cruise Lines International Association and at Maersk Line, a container-shipping company. He's also worked for the Republican side of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
