Brie Van Cleve Disclosure Report
As a Congressional fellow, Brie Van Cleve worked on a bill that would have affected her sponsor. In her quarterly disclosure report, she reported that Pacific Northwest National Laboratory paid her $90,868 in 2016, the year she worked on the bill. We don't know if she worked on sections affecting her sponsor, but this has the appearance of a conflict of interest. It is only through disclosure forms like these required for Senate fellows, that we can identify potential conflicts of interest.
