November 2017 - "Kies has decades of experience in tax policy; few lobbyists will be in such high demand as the Republican Congress considers changes to the tax code."
October 2016 - "The tax policy guru has been in the trenches during a more than three-decade career in Washington; he’s likely to be in high demand as Congress eyes action on tax reform."
October 2015 - "Clients ranging from Caterpillar to Starwood Hotels & Resorts depend on Kies for his tax reform expertise."
October 2014 - "Kies, who worked on the 1986 overhaul of the tax code as a congressional aide, is looking after the interests of Caterpillar, General Electric and Microsoft as Washington gives reform another go."
October 2013 - "Kies is on the shortlist of Washington’s elite tax lobbyists, and his counsel will be a valuable commodity if tax reform gains momentum in Congress."
October 2012 - "The considerable influence of Kies, a former chief of staff for the Joint Committee on Taxation, will be evident once Congress delves into tax reform."
October 2011 - "Kies will be one to watch during the corporate tax reform debate because he was a key aide during the last overhaul of the tax code."
