Craig Obey

Craig Obey is chief lobbyist for the National Parks Conservation Association and son of Congressman David Obey, chair of the House Appropriations Committee. Obey's work for NPCA drew criticism from Republican Congressman Darrell Issa after the House vote on the 2009 stimulus bill; Issa said that levels of parks funding in the bill may have been inappropriate in light of the fact that the NCPA's lobbyist was the son of the Appropriations Committee chair.
