Former western New York Congressman Tom Reynolds has signed on as lobbyist for hard-pressed city of Buffalo, handling issue and regulatory advocacy and legislative monitoring on both the federal and state levels.
He represented the 26th Congressional district, which ranges from suburban Buffalo to outer Rochester, for five terms, stepping down in 2008.
Reynolds chaired the National Republican Congressional Committee from 2003-06, a period marked by the House page scandal and Republicans losing control of the House.
Currently, Reynolds is senior strategic policy advisor in Nixon Peabody’s government relations and public policy unit.
He also picked up First Niagara Financial Group, the Buffalo-based bank that has more than $30B in assets, as a client.
Reynolds handles both accounts with Sally Vastola, who was his Congressional chief of staff.
