Rep. Hoyer picks up energy utilities lobbyist

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Dec. 4, 2023

Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD) has powered up his staff with an energy lobbyist.

Lydia Angel joined Hoyer's staff from Alliant Energy, where she was a federal affairs specialist and registered lobbyist. The utility holding company, which serves Wisconsin and Iowa, spent just shy of $1 million on its federal in-house lobbying program in the last year.

Angel is now Hoyer's policy adviser on energy and environmental issues. Hoyer sits on the powerful House Appropriations Committee and is ranking member of its Financial Services and General Government Subcommittee.
