Broderick Johnson worked in the Clinton Administration, before he cashed out to become an AT&T lobbyist. In 2007, Johnson joined the lobbying firm Bryan Cave & Associates.
One of Johnson’s clients there include the Biotechnology Industry Organization, which lobbied hard for ObamaCare, and got a lucrative provision granting 12-year exclusivity to biotech drugs (meaning generics are prohibited for that long). Another client has been TransCanada, where Johnson lobbied for approval of the Keystone XL Pipeline — a project much of the Left has forcefully opposed. He’s also had finance clients.

Johnson’s wife, Michelle Norris, is an NPR host.
