A Republican House staffer has landed a position at Southwest Airlines.

Rachel Black is now federal affairs director at Southwest Airlines Co. She was most recently legislative director for Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-Texas). Black previously worked for Rep. Tom Graves (R-Ga.), Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.) and Rep. Mayra Flores (R-Texas).

Southwest Airlines spent nearly $2 million on federal lobbying in 2023.
