The Vogel Group, a Washington, D.C., lobbying firm with ties to former U.S. Sen. Bill Frist, is opening a Nashville office, the Nashville Post reports. The firm was founded by Alex Vogel, a former aide to Frist, about four years ago. “Vogel Group has always had a unique, and important, relationship with Tennessee — driven originally by my work for former Senate Majority Leader Frist and our work for a large group of federal clients that are headquartered in Tennessee,” Vogel said about the decision. Local companies represented by the group have included Corizon, CoreCivic and SmileDirectClub. The new Nashville office will be led by former Oak Hill mayor Tommy Alsup, former Republican fundraiser Bryan Kaegi and Rob Mortensen, former president and CEO of the Tennessee Hospitality & Tourism Association.
