Tobyn Anderson, Lighthouse Consulting Group. Anderson and Lighthouse represent the United States Climate Action Partnership, a coalition of companies and environmental groups that support climate legislation. He has been a key adviser on Senate efforts to craft climate legislation.

Paul Bailey, The American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity. ACCCE was caught up in scandal when a subcontractor sent forged letters to House members opposing climate change legislation. But Bailey remains a well-regarded advocate for the industry.

Dan Boston, Health Policy Source. Boston, a former Republican staffer, has been on this list before. He is a wealth of information for his clients and can go deep into the weeds of healthcare policy while quickly assessing the politics of the moment.

Stephen Brown, Tesoro. Brown, a former Democratic staffer, has worked to get oil refiners a better deal in climate change legislation.

Peter Cleveland, Intel. He used to work for Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.), and then he jumped to Intel. Within a year, he’s gone from heading the Washington, D.C., office to being the head of public policy worldwide for the company.

Licy Do Canto, Raben Group. A rising star among Democratic healthcare lobbyists. As co-leader of the firm’s Health and Education Practice Group, Do Canto focuses on progressive causes such as strengthening public health programs for children and families. He’s been able to translate his Capitol Hill contacts and legislative experience attained as a former staffer for Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) and the late Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) into successful bipartisan consensus-building.

Lee Fuller, Independent Petroleum Association of America. Fuller and his group are fighting efforts in Congress to raise the liability cap on drilling accidents to $10 billion.

Tim Greeff, Clean Economy Network. Greeff coordinates the lobbying efforts of a group of clean energy companies trying to advance climate change legislation.
