The lobbying business during the Bush administration has been good to Loeffler Jonas & Tuggey, the law firm founded by Tom Loeffler, a former Republican member of the House from Texas.

Loeffler, a major fundraiser for President Bush, is expanding his firm. The first big addition will be Julie Domenick, executive vice president of the Investment Company Institute, which represents the mutual fund industry and has been a longtime client of the firm. She will oversee the D.C. office.

A Democrat, Domenick was the subject of a move by Rep. Michael G. Oxley (R-Ohio) last year to pressure the ICI to replace her with a Republican. Oxley, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, got a Republican hired there, but ICI did not oust Domenick
