In Washington D.C., some lobbyists like to raise money to make money.
It’s been a successful strategy for Jeff Miller, who raised more than $1 million for President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign from April through June as the only lobbyist to report bundling for the president so far.
Miller’s lobbying firm has reaped the rewards of the Trump connection by attracting a number of powerful clients paying up to send their message straight to the Oval Office. Miller Strategies took in $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2019, up from nearly $1.7 million through the first three months of the year. After barely registering on the K Street radar in 2017, the firm broke out last year when it made $5.2 million. It’s now on pace to smash that number.
Standing out among Miller’s new clients is Amazon….
