Juleanna Glover Weiss

Juleanna Glover Weiss has worked for many leading conservative figures in national politics today. She began in politics as an intern for Sen. Jesse Helms (R-NC), then worked for Phyllis Schlafly, Bill Kristol, Sen. John Ashcroft (R-MO), and for the 2000 presidential campaigns of Vice President Dan Quayle and Steve Forbes and for Rudy Giuliani's aborted 2000 race for the Senate.[1] She then worked as press secretary for Vice President Dick Cheney before taking up lobbying for Clark & Weinstock, where she represented the Iraqi Governing Council.[2] She now lobbies for the Ashcroft Group on behalf of such companies as Israel Aircraft Industries, eBay, Adelphia, AT&T and Price Waterhouse Coopers.[3] Lobbying is a family affair for Glover Weiss. Her husband, from whom she recently announced her separation, is employed by lobbying firm Black, Kelly, Scruggs & Healey - which once represented the Iraqi National Congress[4] - and her brother-in-law, Michael Petruzzello, is the chief executive for Qorvis, which handles public relations for the Saudi government.[5]
