Oversight counsel and lobbyist returns to Senate GOP

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on April 25, 2023

A Republican attorney is back to the Senate, now with experience lobbying and navigating congressional investigations.

This is Jon VanderPlas's second week as general counsel to Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee Republicans. He came to the committee from ID.me, where he was a lobbyist and counsel for government affairs. ID.me provides online identity-verification services, including for the Internal Revenue Service. VanderPlas helped ID.me to handle a 2022 House investigation into the company. Democrats leading the investigation reported that ID.me may have made "baseless claims... [to] increase demand for its identity verification services."

Before ID.me, VanderPlas was chief of staff and senior policy adviser at the Department of Labor's Veterans' Employment and Training Service. He is also a retired Marine Corps officer and an alumnus of then-Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) and then-Rep. Mike Coffman (R-Colo.).

Subjects: Former Rep. Mike Coffman (R-CO); U.S. Department of Labor; Former Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL); Internal Revenue Service; Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee; ID.me Inc.; Jonathan T. VanderPlas (Jon)
