# Tiber Creek Group The **#18 lobbying firm in DC by 2025 revenue ($23.8M)** and one of the oldest lineages in the top 20: founded 1987 as Griffin, Johnson & Associates by Pat Griffin (aide to Sen. Robert Byrd, later Clinton White House legislative affairs director) and David Johnson (aide to Sens. Muskie and Mitchell), it became Peck Madigan Jones before rebranding as Tiber Creek Group in 2021. Democratic-establishment center of gravity — owners include Harold Ickes, Clinton's deputy White House chief of staff — with Republican capability added in the 2000s. The umbrella spans affiliated shops including the explicitly Democratic Ickes & Enright Group. ## The pharma book Tiber Creek's engine is **drug-industry lobbying**: [[PhRMA]] plus a dozen-odd manufacturers (Eli Lilly, AstraZeneca, Merck, Novartis, Roche, Vertex) on drug-pricing and Medicaid fights, alongside [[NVIDIA]], [[Microsoft]], Shopify, SoftBank, the US Chamber, [[Warner Bros. Discovery]], and the State of Delaware. ## The bundling story In March 2026, Sludge reported that Tiber Creek lobbyists **bundled nearly $480,000 for the DCCC in February 2026** — part of a record $4.1M lobbyist-bundled month — while House Democrats campaigned on "affordability." Partners Jonathon Jones and Corey Malmgren, who lobby for [[PhRMA]] on Medicaid drug pricing, each bundled $49,000. A clean case study in the lobbying/campaign-finance crosswalk: the same hands working the drug-pricing file and funding the party messaging against high drug prices. ## FARA FARA filings tie the Peck Madigan Jones/Tiber Creek lineage to the **Embassy of Japan** (registration 2020, exhibits through 2024).
