Chevron has hired Capitol Counsel, the firm of former powerful Republican Congressman Jim McCrery, for input on tax reform.
The Louisiana Republican served as ranking member of the House Ways and Means Committee and was a member of the Joint Committee on Taxation.
McCrery is assisted by John O’Neil, who was policy director to former Republican Whip Trent Lott of Mississippi and tax counsel to the Senate Finance Committee, and Dena Battle, ex-aide to GOP Congressmen Dave Camp and Nick Smith.
Chevron uses BGR Government Affairs, which is the home of former Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour, as its lead shop. BGR received a $150K payment during the second- quarter.
The California-based oil giant dropped Ogilvy Government Relations on June 1 after making a first-quarter payment of $150K to the WPP unit. |
