Firm's Bipartisan Leadership Team Recognized on "The Hill's" 2010 Top Lobbyists List
Dow Lohnes Government Strategies LLC (DLGS) today announced that the firm's Chief Executive Officer Stephen Sayle and President Eric "Rick" Kessler have been recognized as two of Washington, DC's top lobbyists by The Hill, a prominent Capital Hill newspaper.
The "Top Lobbyists" award is part of The Hill's annual listing of Washington's top lobbyists, which features "the most well-regarded industry advocates, major players and rising stars on K Street." The list is determined by the publication's editorial staff following conversations with members of Congress, key aides and other lobbyists.
According to The Hill, "Democrat Kessler and Republican Sayle both spent years as staffers on the Energy and Commerce Committee and are now building a rising lobbying practice downtown."
DLGS Chairman Ken Salomon said: "When, Stephen, Rick and I launched DLGS in April of 2007, we had the goal of having a 'best in class' bipartisan government relations team. The Hill's naming of Stephen and Rick to its 2010 Top Lobbyists list means that we have achieved that distinction."
Sayle, a former Counsel to House Energy and Commerce Republicans and Kessler, a former member of the Energy and Commerce Democratic professional staff,, along with Salomon, joined forces to launch Dow Lohnes Government Strategies, a bipartisan firm with bicameral reach. Today, DLGS is one of Washington's fastest-growing government and public affairs firms focused on the issues at the forefront of the Congressional agenda, including energy, environment, health care, financial services, higher education and telecommunications.
In addition to serving on the Energy and Commerce Committee Staff, Kessler also served as Chief of Staff to the Committee's Chair Emeritus, Rep. John D. Dingell (D-MI), and on the staffs of Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.), Rep. Frank Pallone (D-N.J.), where he served as Legislative Director, and former New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine, among others. Sayle also served as a senior aide on Energy and Commerce Committee Ranking Member Joe Barton's (R-TX) personal staff before becoming one of Washington's most well regarded energy lobbyists.
