Carlos Bonilla

Carlos Bonilla was described earlier this year on the McCain campaign Web site as an economic policy adviser. A McCain spokesman said Bonilla left the campaign in May after the campaign imposed new rules restricting the involvement of lobbyists.

A recent White House report said Bonilla took favors from convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff while working in the White House.

Bonilla is a lobbyist and senior vice president at the Washington Group. His firm was bringing in more than $10 million annually a few years ago, representing corporate clients such as Motorola, Delta Airlines and Rent-a-Center.

Bonilla is registered this year to lobby on behalf of 27 clients, including Time Warner, Motorola and the National Automobile Dealers Association.
