Microsoft lobbyist logs off
Seattle PI | at | by Mike
Jack Krumholtz, who started 14 years ago as Microsoft's only in-house lobbyist and then expanded the company's presence into one of the largest in the nation's capital, is stepping down.
He will be replaced in January as Microsoft's managing director of federal government affairs by Fred Humphries, who has led Microsoft's state government affairs team for the past eight years, overseeing the company's relationships with governors and local officials.
The change comes as Democrats take over the presidency and increase their majority in both branches of Congress.
