The ongoing effort to advance mining near Minnesota’s pristine Boundary Waters is getting a bit more K Street lobbying muscle.
Former Republican Sen. Norm Coleman of Minnesota, now senior counsel of global regulatory at the law and lobbying firm Hogan Lovells, is lobbying for the Bernhardt Group on behalf of Twin Metals Minnesota, according to a lobbying disclosure.
So too is Daniel Winkler, a longtime aide for former independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, who joined Hogan Lovells last year, according to the form. Sinema is a senior adviser at the firm.
Hogan Lovells and the Bernhardt Group did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Twin Metals declined to comment.
