Rep. Butterfield aide moves to NCTA government affairs

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on March 2, 2021

One of Washington's biggest lobbying presences has added yet another Rep. G.K. Butterfield (D-N.C.) staffer.

Tim Graham, previously Butterfield's legislative counsel, is now vice president for external affairs and government relations at NCTA - The Internet & Television Association. The telecom trade group dropped almost $15.5 million on federal lobbying last year - making it the tenth highest lobbying spender in the country, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

Graham isn't the first Butterfield aide to leave the congressman for the NCTA. Former Butterfield deputy chief Saul Hernandez joined the trade group in 2018 and has registered as a lobbyist every quarter since.
