DeLauro Chief of Staff Bolts to Lobby Shop.

Leticia Mederos is leaving her post as chief of staff to U.S. Representative Rosa DeLauro. Mederos, according to Politico, will join lobbying firm Clark Hill just as DeLauro has taken over as head of the House Appropriations Committee–and announced that billions in earmarks will soon be available to cooperative members.

Mederos will be lobbying because this is how it works.
