Hart, an attorney and accountant who perennially appears on lists of top D.C. lobbyists, is chairman of the law and lobbying firm Williams & Jensen. Hart brings experience from regulatory posts in the government. He worked at the U.S. Labor Department on benefits and retirement issues. Hart did not respond to a request for an interview.
