Former GOP Representative Deborah Pryce of Ohio has joined the Washington law office of Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice in its government affairs practice.
Pryce, 57, is not a registered lobbyist for the firm. The just-retired lawmaker, like all former Congress members, is under a one-year ban on lobbying her former colleagues.
Pryce, a former Franklin County municipal judge, will work out of Columbus, but make regular trips to Washington.
Pryce served eight terms in the House but did not run for re-election in November.
She graduated from Capital University Law School in 1976.
Also at the firm is Pryce’s former congressional chief of staff, Lori Salley, as a senior government relations adviser.
Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice, PLLC, established in Winston-Salem, North Carolina in 1876, is one of the largest business law firms in the mid-Atlantic and Southeast regions of the United States.
