Newly elected Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has begun to fill critical positions in his leadership staff with former Republican Study Committee executive director Dan Ziegler tapped to serve as the Speaker’s policy director. While Ziegler’s tenure on Capitol Hill was fairly mundane, his post-Hill lobbying work will surely concern amongst conservatives.
Zielger, most recently a principal at the law firm and lobbyist group Williams and Jensen, has represented a bevy of bio-tech and pharmaceutical companies. Some of his most recognizable clients include the bio-tech firm Amgen, Pfizer, Eli Lilly, Merck, Ozempic maker Novo Nordisk, and PhRMA – the major pharmaceutical industry trade group. The lobbying work on behalf of Pfizer and PhRMA are especially concerning given the industry connections to the Democrat Party and anti-Trump, globalist causes.
Two months ago, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla appeared at the Clinton Foundation’s “Clinton Global Initiative” alongside former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, U.S. Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland, and California Governor Gavin Newsom. The annual conference serves as a major spring-board for globalist policy initiatives aimed to “implement solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges, including climate change, inclusive economic growth, and health equity.”

Last year, Pfizer sponsored the Atlantic magazine festival in Washington, D.C. which featured a whose-who of globalist movers-and-shakers. COVID-19 obsessed Dr. Anthony Fauci appeared alongside Ibram X. Kendi, former White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain, and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen. Among the subjects discussed at the event were critical race theory, diversity, Ukraine, censorship, climate change, and centralizing healthcare and pandemic response control. Bourla was among over 150 multinational corporate leaders to sign a statement demanding evidence of election fraud during the 2020 presidential election be ignored and Joe Biden be installed as President.
Federal election records show Zielger contributed $1,000 to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s 2024 presidential campaign.
