A recent lobbyist-turned-staffer shied away from a party held in her honor last week because the shindig was hosted by telecommunications industry lobbyists, Roll Call reports.
The party was held for former AT&T lobbyist Amy Andryszak, who joined the staff of Rep. Jim Matheson, D-Utah, as chief of staff today.
The event was hosted by CTIA, the United States Telecom Association, the National Cable & Telecommunications Association and several lobbyists, the article says.
"This is something put together by my friends, and I think it's a wonderful gesture that they wanted to host this event for me," Andryszak told Roll Call. "Even though this is completely legal and ethical, to avoid any appearance of impropriety, I will not attend this event."
