He also worked closely with officials at the White House’s National Security Council and other government agencies.

At the 2015 Renewable Energy Transition event hosted by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and the Atlantic Council’s Global Energy Center, Hochstein stated that “unlike oil and gas, the technological advances we’re seeing in renewables are making them cheaper and better.” He further said: “U.S. energy security, energy sustainability and climate objectives are mutually reinforcing. As such, we are working to promote energy efficiency, conservation and transformation of energy systems. We are encouraging market reforms, such as the elimination of fossil fuel subsidies, that can address overall energy demand.”

While in Cassidy & Associates, Hochstein also worked on behalf of the president of Equatorial Guinea Teodoro Nguema, Africa’s longest-serving dictator and to strengthen the relationship between and the United States. His book “Private Empire: ExxonMobil and American Power” two time Pulitzer Prize winner Steve Coll recalls that although Hochstein initially was uneasy about being uncomfortable with the Equatorial Guinea account, he helped in the creation of the “road map” of political changes , in conjunction with U.S. National Security Council which Equatorial Guinea would have to implement to demonstrate their willingness to make changes and strengthen relations with United States. The plans included release of prisoners and significant public investments in education and health care and Hochstein helped coordinate the publicizing of these ideas to and between Equatorial Guinea’s government as well as officials from the State Department. Hochstein along with other officials, including which the Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Paul Wolfowitz, said they were impressed by the willingness of Obiang to adapt and change. Equatorial Guinea under the Obiang regime is by all accounts one of the most free nations. Hochstein was adamant about the Obiang regime during an interview in The Washington Post. Hochstein stated that the progress and the support for the process of democracy in countries such as Equatorial Guinea needs to be encouraged and Western states should not be expecting changes to long-standing political reality overnight. In the end, Hochstein was forced to quit the lobbying account, but continued to be employed by Cassidy until 2006.

While at the State Department, Hochstein worked as a close advisor to Vice- President Joe Biden. He served in the administration from 2011 to 2017.
