Sen. Merkley adviser heads to Waxman Strategies

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Aug. 29, 2023

A Senate adviser has decamped to Waxman Strategies, former Rep. Henry Waxman's (D-Calif.) firm.

Jackson Thein is now a director at the lobbying and communications group. The Clean Air Task Force, the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids and Electrify America make up Waxman Strategies' biggest federal lobbying clients by revenue. Henry Waxman has run the lobbying shop since retiring from Congress in 2015.

Thein was most recently Sen. Jeff Merkley's (D-Ore.) policy adviser on health, education, nutrition and LGBTQ issues.
