Another politician at the through

WASHINGTON — Former U.S. Rep. George Nethercutt, R-Spokane, beaten by Democratic incumbent Patty Murray in a U.S. Senate race last fall, is joining a lobbying firm headed by a former top White House energy adviser.

Also joining the firm is former Deputy Interior Secretary Steven Griles, who oversaw the Bush administration's push to open more public land to energy development. The District of Columbia firm is headed by Andrew Lundquist, who led Vice President Dick Cheney's energy task force in the Bush administration's first term.

The Lundquist Group will be renamed Lundquist, Nethercutt & Griles.

Nethercutt, who represented the Spokane area for five terms in the U.S. House, said in a statement that his new job would continue a longtime interest in developing partnerships among the federal government, businesses, universities and nonprofit organizations.

"In my role on the House Defense, Agriculture and Interior subcommittees, I worked on a host of national issues," Nethercutt said. "By joining with Steve and Andrew, I am able to combine my legislative expertise with their executive-branch experience to continue to work on the national and Northwest issues I care about."
