Former Massachusetts governor and Senate candidate William Weld is Solyndra’s newest lobbyist, according to the solar panel company’s latest filing in bankruptcy court.
Former Steny Hoyer aide David Ransom, a Weld colleague at McDermott Will & Emery is also on the brand new Solyndra account, helping the company deal with the investigation into how it got this government subsidy despite its bad business condition. Hoyer’s old chief of staff Andy Quinn is already a Solyndra lobbyist, as is Quinn’s colleague Steve Ham at McAllister & Quinn.
The other DC lawyer named by the Legal Times story where I found this is former John Glenn aide and Reagan Administration lawyer Stephen Ryan.
Solyndra’s other well-connected lobbyists include green-lobbyist extraordinaire and former Appropriations staffer Steve McBee and John Kerry aide Gregg Rothschild.
