Former Rep. Tom DeLay has officially made the jump to lobbyist.

The Texas Republican in late July filed paperwork to lobby for Argus Global LLC on sex-trafficking issues, according to records tracked by the website Political MoneyLine.

New York City-based Argus Global is described as an investment, media and public relations firm on recent lobbying registration forms filed with the House and Senate.

Though the former House Majority Leader formed the political consulting firm First Principles after leaving Congress, Argus Global is his first “and probably only” lobbying client, DeLay said in a phone interview.

“I didn’t want to register as a lobbyist, but I felt like since I was talking to Members of Congress and their staff, I would cover my bases and register to make sure everything was ethical and up front,” DeLay told Roll Call.
