Michael Hillerby, left, and his father, Fred Hillerby, check their messages at a lobbyist bench at the Nevada Legislature. Fred began lobbying in Nevada 32 years ago. He was joined by son Mike in 1991. Mike then took a flyer in government, as director of the state Department of Museums, Library, and Arts and then chief of staff to Gov. Kenny Guinn. He then returned to lobbying. The Hillerbys are not the first father/son lobbying team, having been preceded by Wallie and Stan Warren and Clark and Joe Guild.
