Environment & Energy Daily, a trade publication that tracks Congress, reported today that Josh Kardon, the former chief of staff for Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) has a new client—the oil giant Exxon Mobil Corp.
Kardon, worked for Wyden for 18 years, many of them stationed in Portland. When Kardon left Wyden's office in 2011, the senator was glowing in his praise.
"Josh is the most gifted political mind that I have ever known and as
his boss, I wish he'd work for me for another couple of decades," Wyden said then in a statement. "As his
friend, I look forward to seeing the great things he will do next."
Wyden was named chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee late last year.
Kardon, who ran a political consulting firm in Portland and worked for the Tonkon Torp. law firm after leaving Wyden's office, has been spending much of his time in Washington, D.C., lately, working for the Capitol Hill Consulting Group.
Here's today's story from Environment & Energy Daily:
Kardon was not immediately available for comment.
