Rep. Swalwell picks up lobbyist from trial-attorney's group

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Nov. 1, 2021

Rep. Eric Swalwell's (D-Calif.) newest hire spent the last three years as a lobbyist for trial attorneys.

Brian McMillan comes from the American Association for Justice, where he was federal-relations counsel. The trade group spent nearly $4.6 million on its federal lobbying program in the last year.

McMillan is now senior counsel handling Swalwell's judiciary portfolio, among other issues. Swalwell's campaign regularly accepts money from the American Association for Justice PAC, including $7,500 last election cycle, according to FEC records.
