BLM director-turned Senate chief heads to K Street

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Nov. 27, 2023

Neil Kornze, former Bureau of Land Management director under Obama, has moved from the Senate to one of K Street's finest.

Kornze started as a senior vice president at Cassidy & Associates earlier this month. Cassidy's $17 million in federal lobbying income so far this year makes it one of D.C. largest lobbying shops by revenue, according to LegiStorm data.

Kornze comes from the office of Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), where he was chief of staff. Kornze served for three years as BLM director, preceded by a year as acting director. He is also a former CEO of the left-leaning Campion Foundation and Campion Advocacy Fund and was a senior adviser to then-Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.).
