Why It Matters
Pet food manufacturer Petfive Brands Global Holding Inc. has entered the lobbying arena for the first time, engaging Monument Advocacy to represent its interests on agriculture and trade policy.
By the Numbers
Monument Advocacy registered Petfive Brands as a client on September 18. Two lobbyists are assigned to the account: Kimberly Ellis, a Principal at Monument Advocacy, and Poorvie Bishnoi, Vice President of Government Relations. No specific legislation was identified in the disclosure. Ellis brings Capitol Hill experience, having served as Legislative Director for Rep. Kevin Brady (R-TX-8). Bishnoi has prior government experience but no congressional background on file.
Broader Context
The company had no prior lobbying presence before this engagement.
