There will be a major shakeup on the staff of the Senate Energy and Water Appropriations Subcommittee with two of the top staffers on the panel leaving Capitol Hill for lobbying jobs. NS&D Monitor has learned that Senate Majority Clerk Tom Craig and Senate Minority Staffer Leland Cogliani are leaving the subcommittee Friday. Craig, who joined the panel two years ago, will serve as the director of government affairs for Duke Energy, while Cogliani will serve as a senior lobbyist for Washington, D.C., lobbying consulting firm Lewis-Burke Associates. Craig will be replaced as majority clerk by Tyler Owens, though the panel is likely to hire a staffer to handle Craig’s portfolio, which includes the National Nuclear Security Administration. Chris Hanson, who had been detailed to the committee from the Department of Energy, will take over for Cogliani and assume his NNSA and applied energy portfolio. Minority Clerk Doug Clapp will handle Cogliani’s Office of Science portfolio.
