Anheuser-Busch Companies, which has come under fire from Republicans for doing a Bud Light marketing partnership with a transgender influencer, hired Origin Advocacy to lobby on general policy regarding the alcohol-beverage industry. Sean McLean, former White House liaison at the Trump Commerce Department  and legislative director to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), will work on the account.
