Rep. Meuser LD heads to renewable-energy lobby

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on April 21, 2022

After working for four congressional Republicans and the Trump administration, a Hill staffer has made his first pass through the revolving door for the renewable-energy sector.

Blake Deeley, most recently Rep. Dan Meuser's (R-Pa.) legislative director, is now director of federal affairs for the American Clean Power Association. He's already registered as a lobbyist for the association, which spent more than $1.9 million on its federal lobbying program in 2021. The Energy Storage Association, a recent ACPA acquisition, disclosed another $80,000 on lobbying last year.

Before joining Meuser's office last year, Deeley served as special assistant to then-President Donald Trump and as an adviser at the Department of the Interior. He's also held positions with Rep. David McKinley (R-W.V.), Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.).
