George Rogers, a top aide to House Speaker John Boehner, is trading in his Capitol Hill credentials to become Wexler & Walker's executive vice president and corporate secretary.

In Rogers, the lobbying firm gets an experienced Washington hand who has worked closely with a number of top House Republicans. Rogers has worked as Boehner's chief policy expert on issues before the Financial Services, Judiciary, Homeland Security, Government Reform, House Administration, and Agriculture committees.

“We’re delighted George has decided to join our firm. He’s played a key role for Speaker Boehner and worked closely with committee chairmen and House Republicans for many years," said the firm's chief operating officer Jack Howard. "The depth of his experience will be a real asset to our clients as Congress continues tackling those policies.”

He starts at the firm Dec. 10.
