Convenience store giant 7-11 snags longtime Hill aide

Posted by Heavyn Lester on June 4, 2024

Former congressional staffer Michael Kotsovos is quenching his thirst with Big Gulps and Slurpees as 7-Eleven Inc.'s new government affairs manager.

Kotsovos has over six years of experience on the Hill and most recently worked as a legislative assistant to Rep. Troy Balderson (R-Ohio). Kotsovos covered various issues for Rep. Balderson's office, including communications and technology, financial services, agriculture and small business.

The convenience store franchise spent approximately $2.6 million on federal lobbying in 2023 concerning a range of issues, such as agriculture, small business and financial institutions/investments/securities.
