UPDATE:
We received a phone call from Portland-based law firm Schwabe Williams & Wyatt that the David Axelrod who has been registered to lobby for their firm is not the same David Axelrod who is senior adviser at the White House, as we previously reported.
We regret the error.
Here is the corrected list that is an update to my story in the current issue of National Journal noting former lobbyists now working in the White House.
Cassandra Butts, deputy counsel (2005-2006, registered to lobby for Center for American Progress)
Michael Strautmanis, chief of staff to senior adviser (2005, American Association for Justice)
Cecilia Munoz, director of intergovernmental affairs, (2008, National Council of La Raza)
Patrick Gaspard, White House political director (2007-2008, SEIU)
Dan Turton, deputy director of legislative affairs (2003-2008, Timmons & Co.)
Emmett Beliveau, director of advance (2007, Patton Boggs)
Thomas Donilon, deputy at the National Security Council (2004, Fannie Mae)
David Medina, deputy chief of staff to Michelle Obama (2008, US Global Leadership Campaign)
Jocelyn Frye, deputy assistant to Michelle Obama (2008, National Partnership for Women & Families)
Jay Heimbach, legislative affairs (2001-2006, Ricchetti Inc.)
Denise Wilson, legislative affairs (manager of government relations at Motorola, but not in lobbying database)
Sean Kennedy, legislative affairs (2005-2006, SBC Communications -- now AT&T)
