Former state sen. joins conservative immigration group

Posted by Heavyn Lester on Sept. 17, 2024

Former state Sen. Michael Hough (R-Md.) is heading to NumbersUSA Action.

Hough most recently served as Rep. Alex Mooney's (R-W.Va.) chief of staff. Before working on the Hill, he served in the Maryland legislature from 2011 to 2023, first as a representative and later as a senator.

Hough will hold the position of director of federal government relations for NumbersUSA Action. The group's official website states that it advocates for "a balanced immigration system that welcomes the spouses and minor children of U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents, is responsive to acute refugee crises, attracts those with extraordinary ability and talents, addresses temporary labor shortages, and protects the most vulnerable."
