Monument’s Joel White spoke with Politico about the need for health care lobbying during the Trump administration.
Leading the pack is Monument Advocacy, which registered to lobby on behalf of nine companies Friday.
The recent filings highlight how boutique firms are poised to benefit from healthcare’s lobbying bonanza and are hot targets for acquisition. Last year, Monument Advocacy merged with health care-focused shop Horizon Government Affairs, founded by Joel White, a former Republican staff director on the House Ways and Means Health Subcommittee. Many of its recent filings were previous clients at Horizon.
“With the Trump administration and key congressional committees sharpening their focus ahead of the midterms, stakeholders aren’t sitting on the sidelines. Health care drives a significant share of federal spending, sits at the center of multiple legislative vehicles, and remains one of the most dynamic and heavily scrutinized sectors in Washington,” White said.
