Clyburn LD steels herself for government-affairs job

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Aug. 10, 2022

Democratic leadership has lost a staffer to the steel industry.

Ashleigh Wilson is now manager and counsel for federal government affairs at Nucor Corp., the country's biggest steel producer. The company's public-affairs team disclosed spending $2.2 million on federal lobbying in the last year.

Wilson was most recently House Democratic Whip Jim Clyburn's (S.C.) legislative director and counsel. She handled infrastructure, manufacturing and natural resources, among other legislative issues.
