POLITICO: Former deputy chief of staff to Ways and Means Chair Jason Smith (R-Mo.), joins Aquia Group

ANOTHER ONE: That list includes Sarah Rogers Burke, a former deputy chief of staff to Ways and Means Chair Jason Smith (R-Mo.), who is joining Aquia Group as a principal. Most recently, Burke served as deputy staff director of the House Energy & Commerce Committee, where her contributions were described as “invaluable” by former Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.) in a statement provided by the firm.

— Both McMorris Rodgers and Smith, also in a statement shared by Aquia Group, praised Burke’s talent for cultivating relationships across the aisle. “Her impact on E&C and federal policy will last for years to come,” McMorris Rodgers added. “Sarah was in my corner for a decade, and I can say with confidence you’ll want her in your corner too.”
