For-Profit College Gears Up For Republican Control of House

Sunlight Foundation:
"Kaplan, one of the nation's largest for-profit colleges, has hired a team of Republican lobbyists with congressional experience as the for-profit industry comes under fire from Democrats in the Senate and the Department of Education.

The team at Ogilvy Government Relations includes Wayne Berman, former Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Policy, Chris Giblin, former chief of staff to Rep. John Carter, Drew Maloney, former legislative director and administrative assistant to former Majority Leader Tom DeLay, and Justin Daly, former counsel to the Financial Services Committee and Senate Banking Committee. These four Republican lobbyists are joined by the sole Democrat listed on the lobbying registration form, Tony Bullock, former chief of staff to former Sen. Pat Moynihan.

According to lobbying contribution disclosure forms, these lobbyists have combined to contribute more than $70,000 to political campaigns and parties since 2008."
