Fact ppl-012
The 'covered official position' field of the Atlas Crossing filings for Valar (the law requires lobbyists to list government jobs held in the prior 20 years) names six lobbyists: Sean Joyce (chief of staff to Rep. Patrick McHenry; legislative, communications and military-legislative posts for Rep. Shuster); Alex Bolton (chief of staff to Rep. Nicole Malliotakis); Christopher W. Eddowes (senior policy adviser to Rep. Lloyd Smucker); Alexis Oberg (policy aide to Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal); and, from Q1 2026, Robert Parmiter (general counsel of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and of the House Oversight Committee, deputy staff director of the House Judiciary Committee, and counsel posts on its crime subcommittee) and Bobby Cornett (head of legislative affairs at the Defense Department's Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office; deputy chief of staff to Rep. Trent Franks). This is the ordinary 'revolving door' of Washington lobbying and is legal when disclosed; it is disclosed here. No lobbyist is listed with a past post at DOE, the NRC, or in Utah government, and none of the filings lists the Defense Department as contacted, although Valar's reactor was flown by the Defense Department (orig-030).
