Farm Bureau harvests former GOP aide

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on July 12, 2021

After working his way around the Colorado delegation, a former GOP staffer is cultivating a new career with the agriculture industry's top lobbying group.

Dustin Sherer is now a director for the American Farm Bureau Federation's congressional-relations team. The Farm Bureau spends big on lobbying, last year dropping more than $3 million across contractors and its 18-person in-house team.

Sherer most recently served as an legislative assistant to then-Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.). Positions with former Rep. Scott Tipton (R-Colo.) and former Sen. Wayne Allard (R-Colo.) rounded out the rest of his 16-year congressional career.
