Google's latest search ends with House E&C staffer

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Nov. 15, 2021

Google has added another Democratic congressional staffers to its heavily funded Washington team.

Anna Su has joined Google as a government-affairs and public-policy manager. She comes from the House Energy and Commerce Committee's Consumer Protection and Commerce Subcommittee, where she worked as professional staff under Subcommittee Chair Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.). She's also an alum of Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.).

The hire, which comes amid calls for Congress to tighten antitrust regulations across the tech industry, is the latest in a steady drip of Democratic staffers from the Hill to Google's D.C. office. In the last year, the tech behemoth has disclosed spending $9.5 million on its federal lobbying program, which includes its in-house team and active contracts with 17 lobbying firms.
