Meet Heather Podesta, Washington’s favorite female lobbist. She’s the new “it” girl. Heather Podesta is the Washington DC lobbyist who has made a name for herself as one of the toughest females in Washington. Sometimes with and sometimes against husband and fellow lobbyist Tony Podesta.
Podesta is described as being the ultimate Democratic strategist, a woman that’s not trying to be one of the guys. Not only do they love her for it; they reward her with alot of business, a 65 percent increase just this year to $3.4 million.

Heather Podesta currently lobbies for health-care clients such as Cigna and HealthSouth, drugmaker Eli Lilly and of course Susan G. Komen for the Cure; financial powerhouses such as Prudential and Swiss Reinsurance Co.; not to mention energy companies such as Marathon Oil, and Climate Masters, a geothermal heating firm.
The Washington Post just did an article on Heather outlining her ability to be the Insiders Insider in Washington DC and describes her as “an It Girl in a new generation of young, highly connected, built-for-the-Obama-era lobbyists.
Last year at the Democratic Convention she wore a scarlet letter “L” to taunt Obama for vilifying lobbyist during his campaign. She went thorugh about a dozen fonts before settling on a Gothic-style letter, which became such a popular she gave away over a 100 them.
Times Blogger Karen Tumulty has pointed out that it’s very risky for lobbyists to flaunt their influence in huge feature stories, and ponders what the fallout might be if any for Heather Podesta. ”Commonsense rule #1 for influence peddlers: Don’t flaunt it,” Tumulty writes.
We’ll let you know what happens in the next few days as people continue to read and learn about Heather Podesta.
I only hope they used #4 screws so this piece of shit can’t get out and breath my air again. Good riddance you piece of trash
Just to let you know I don't blame you for it, but my search to obtain Heather Podesta's lobbying history got me an attack by a trojan horse.
My software is great, and killed it, but no one else should search the internet to answer this question.
And secondly, I believe she is in Obama's pocket.
