Former California congressman Richard Pombo joins Oregon lobbying firm
February 20, 2007
WASHINGTON — Former U.S. Rep. Richard Pombo announced he accepted a job with an Oregon lobbying and public relations firm that specializes in Western resource issues.
The one-time rancher and former chairman of the House Resources Committee will find clients for Pac/West Communications, but will do no lobbying, company President Paul Phillips said.
The company’s clients include the Save Our Species Alliance, which supported Pombo’s unsuccessful efforts to rewrite the Endangered Species Act. Those attempts spurred environmental groups to pour money into the campaign of wind energy engineer Jerry McNerney, a Democrat who defeated him in November.
Pac/West has about two dozen employees in offices throughout the West and in Washington, D.C. Pombo will be based in Sacramento.
The Republican formerly served in California’s 11th District.
