Congress Daily: Outlook/People

August 23, 2004

Alex DelPizzo may be leaving Capitol Hill for a lobbying firm. But the transition should be an easy one, partly because he will still work for clients in New Jersey. After more than three years as legislative director for Rep. Mike Ferguson, R-N.J. DelPizzo will serve as vice president of Winning Strategies Washington, a government relations firm. In this position, he'll work with the same people he'd known at Winning Strategies during his tenure in Ferguson's office. "They were the people who we had kind of been through the wars with on Capitol Hill, and it's always nice to go to a firm where you've worked with folks in the past," he said. The connection, DelPizzo says, is that Winning Strategies has many New Jersey clients, and has worked closely with the Garden State delegation. Ferguson's office has not decided on a replacement.
