K St Dems Rake In Bucks In 2009
Lobbying firms run by prominent Democrats like Tommy Boggs, Norm Brownstein and Tony Podesta posted robust growth in fees during 2009.
Patton Boggs (chaired by Boggs), Brownstein Hyatt & Farber (co-founded by Brownstein) and the Podesta Group (founded by Podesta) were three of the top five most successful firms on K Street last year, according to data provide by firms and lobbying disclosure documents filed with Congress.
The numbers reflect the story line of the year, which was Democrats' active legislative agenda on Capitol Hill on health care, energy and financial services reform fueled clients desire to hire firms with Democrat ties in Washington.
"2009 was clearly a very active year on the Hill," said James Christian, partner at Patton Boggs. "Our clients faced many challenges and opportunities and these figures reflect that activity."
Here's an initial top ten list compiled by me and will be updated as we get more information about filings. It always takes Congress at least a week to compile all the data.

1. Patton Boggs $40.8 mln vs $39.2 million
2. Akin Gump $32.3 mln vs $34.4 million
3. Van Scoyoc $28.07 mln vs $25.8 mln
4. Podesta Group $25.6 million vs $15.9 mln

9. Dutko $19.35 mln vs $20.2 mln

Such fees are staggering in the size of the amounts because the party machine could save money in order to get things going properly.
