The Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative has hired The Nickles Group to complement the efforts of the Democratic Gephardt Government Affairs firm.
Oklahoma’s former Republican Senator Don Nickles’ firm inked a $240K one-year contract with TECRO, which is the arm of the Taiwain’s government.
He’s joined on the account by Don Kent (ex-chief of staff to Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin) and Jeff Choudhry (former staffer to Arizona Congressman Trent Franks).
After 24 years in the Senate, Nickles founded his firm in 2005. He had chaired the powerful Budget Committee and served on the Finance and Energy/Natural Resources Committees.
TNG also represents Korea. During the six-month period ended 9/27, TNG contacted Senators Mitch McConnell, Jon Kyl, Dick Lugar, Saxby Chambliss, Rand Paul, Kelly Ayotte, Scott Brown and Marco Rubio on behalf of the Koreans. |
