After losing a primary race against Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) in what’s been called last year’s biggest political upset, former Congressman Joe Crowley is headed to one of K Street’s largest law and lobbying firms—surprising no one, but garnering a fresh wave of criticism nonetheless.

Responding to the news on Twitter, Former New York attorney general candidate Zephyr Teachout declared: “No, it is not surprising. But it is so shameful. Joe Crowley is selling twenty years of the goodwill of his constituents to the wealthy clients of Squire Patton Boggs.”

Following months of speculation and reporting that he was being courted by various lobbying groups, news broke Tuesday that Crowley—alongside former Republican Congressman Bill Shuster of Pennsylvania—was hired by Squire Patton Boggs. Crowley told Politico in a statement,”We were honored to hear from many of the great firms in town since leaving Congress, and chose what we think is the very best place to continue our careers.”

When Ocasio-Cortez, then a 28-year-old organizer, toppled the 10-term incumbent last year, she had said in her victory speech, “The message that we sent the world tonight is that it is not okay to put donors before your community.” Crowley’s move to K Street revived critiques of his priorities that tanked his bid to hold on to his U.S. House seat. As one New Yorker put it, “There is a reason that @AOC won my district.”

Squire Patton Boggs counts among its clients several major corporations and governments across the globe. As Politico noted, “The firm’s dozens of lobbying clients include Coca-Cola, Procter & Gamble, and UnitedHealth, according to disclosure filings, as well as the governments of Cameroon, China, Croatia, Qatar, and South Korea, and the Palestinian Authority.”

The Washington Post‘s Jeff Stein, citing the Center for Responsive Politics, added Amazon, Samsung, and Royal Dutch Shell to that list. Predicting Crowley’s next moves based on the interests his new employer represents, Teachout tweeted, “So will Crowley end up lobbying against the Green New Deal and for Amazon?”
