Downtown Download. Tyler Grimm, a top adviser to House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), is joining Miller Strategies as a principal.
Grimm is Jordan’s chief counsel and one of his key advisers on policy and strategy. Very few people in Jordan’s inner circle defect, so this is a notable move.
Grimm has been on the Hill for 14 years and has been with the Ohio Republican through impeachment, numerous investigations and a variety of key legislative topics such as tech regulation and intellectual property.
With Jordan and House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) likely to investigate the private sector in the 119th Congress, the market for oversight hands downtown will be booming.
“We hate to lose Tyler Grimm because he’s a tremendous staffer and one of the best strategists on Capitol Hill, but I know he will do a great job for Jeff Miller and his group,” Jordan said in a statement.
Miller Strategies, helmed by Jeff Miller, is a major player in GOP politics. Miller is the finance chair of President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration and is a close ally of GOP leadership. The firm’s clients include Apple, Anheuser-Busch, Charles Schwab, Comcast, Delta Air Lines, Oracle, the PGA Tour, Southern Company and Blackstone.
