Budget Democrats adds economics lobbyist

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on April 13, 2021

The Senate Budget Committee has brought on an economics and unemployment lobbyist.

Elizabeth Pancotti joined the committee last week as a senior analyst under chair Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). This is the Texan's first job on the Hill.

She comes from Employ America, a think tank that advocates for progressive economic policies. There, she was policy director and a registered lobbyist. She previously worked for the National Bureau of Economic Research.
