“One thing that is important on which we could be stronger in this list is references from formerly or sitting elected officials to show depth of Washington relationships,” DeLoche wrote in an email to Hunter, Walker and RSTP founding partner and managing director Eric Schwerin in July 2012. “For example, having a name like John Kerry on this list is fantastic.”
