House Appropriations staffer turns to lobbying

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Oct. 13, 2022

A longtime House Appropriations Committee staffer has made his first moves as a lobbyist.

Darren Benjamin registered as a lobbyist for the National Indian Health Board through Virginia-based Relation Strategy. He's working on health-care programs for American Indian and Alaska Native Tribes, per a recent filing.

Benjamin spent the last 13 years with House Appropriations Republicans, most recently as professional staff to the Interior, Environment and Related Agencies Subcommittee. He originally came to the committee as a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services detailee and was later a Department of the Interior detailee to the Senate Appropriations Committee.
