The challenge for the lobbying community is reorienting toward a Republican administration they were not prepared for, led by a man they'd renounced for most 0f the campaign.While HiIIary deep roots in Washington. Sitting members 0f Congress are up for the top posts at the Depart- ment 0fJustice, the Health and Human Services Department and the CIA. "These are not all peo- ple from outside Washington, says LOtt. Even most Of the so-called "outsiders, ” like Rex Tillerson, the former CEO of Exxon Mobil who is now sec- retary 0f state, have ample D. C. ties. Mywife served on the board with Tillerson ” at Ford's Theatre, the historic venue where Abra- ham Lincoln was shOt, says LOtt. Other board members include new Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, whO is married tO Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell; lris WeinshaII, who's married tO McConnell's Democratic counter- part, Chuck Schumer; and leading lobbyists Heather Podesta and Jim Dyer. And that's just one snapshot Of the way politics, special inter- ests and socializing tend tO merge in this city. The new resident 0f1600 Pennsylvania Avenue shows little sign ofdisrupting those networks. If Trump brings any re alchange to Washington influence peddling, it's likelyto be an acceleration of the industry's transformation. The stereotypi- cal smoke-filled rooms are no longer the primary domain for lobbying, although backroom deals still occur. More and more, pitches are made LOBBYISTS SAYTHEY HAVE HAD LITTLETROUBLE GAINING ACCESS TO THE TRUMP TEAM. Clinton s campaign tallied more than $ 7.5 million in donations "bundled," or collected, by lobbyist supporters, Trump reported exactly zero donations from lobbyist bundlers. And the Repub- lican nominee raised just $ 140 , 000 ー a tiny sliver Of the $ 150 million in contributions he hauled in—from political action com- mittees, a typical conduit for corporate cash. Several prominent corporations pulled out 0f funding the Republican National Con- ventlon after Trump secured the nomination last summer. NOW the entirety of corporate America and K Street is trying to make nice, donating millions tO Trump s transition committee and mauguration. Numerous lobbyists alSO initially served on Trump s transition team, until they were purged as part Of a November reorganization. And companies are eagerly highlighting any con- nections they have cultivated with the Trump White House. Mottur points out that one Of his partners at Brownstein Hyatt, former Republican National Committee Chairman Jim Nicholson, was a Trump supporter during the campalgn and is close tO White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus. Mottur boasts Of a tweet that Trump sent out to his millions of followers in December, with a picture of Nicholson standing beside the president-elect at the Army-Navy football game ・ Turns out, there are plenty ofpeople coming intO Trump's White House that K Stre et knows well. LOtt, co- chair Of the Public Policy Practice at Squire Patton Boggs, says three 0fhis former Staff memb e rs are working on the transltlon , including the staff director, RICk Dearborn, who is now deputy chief of staff for policy at the White House.
