Aviation lobbyist makes return trip to the Hill

Posted by Andy Gottlieb on Jan. 25, 2024

A Democratic staffer-turned-lobbyist has landed back at the Capitol.

Rachel Devine is now senior counsel for the majority on the Aviation, Safety, Operations and Innovation Subcommittee of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee. She recently worked as senior vice president for global policy and regulatory affairs at Boom Technology Inc., a Colorado-based firm that develops supersonic aircraft. She lobbied on several issues involving the FAA, NASA and the U.S. Air Force, including a focus on aviation sustainability, emissions and noise.

Devine was previously a stalwart of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. She served in various roles since 1999, interspersed with outside gigs relating to air travel. She finished as Democratic staff director and senior counsel for the Aviation Subcommittee in 2019.
