House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (CA-23) said he hired Dan Meyer, former senior aide to ex-Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-GA) and current K Street lobbyist, as chief of staff.
“Dan Meyer has spent his career helping shape conservative Republican policy solutions and lead the fight for them every day. From his time working with Speaker Gingrich and the Republican Revolution that won the House to leading to President George W. Bush’s legislative affairs operation to his continued support for Members and staff through the Congressional Institute, Dan is wholly committed to the cause,” said McCarthy in a statement.
Meyer replaces Barrett Karr, who is leaving Capitol Hill to join private equity firm Silver Lake Partners after serving as McCarthy’s chief of staff for two years.
