Revolving Door: Former Members of the 111th Congress mostly become lobbyists and influence peddlers
Last edited Fri Mar 2, 2012, 07:40 PM - Edit history (1)
Each election, members of Congress are defeated in their bid for re-election or choose to voluntarily leave office. The 2010 midterm elections saw an exceptionally large number of sitting members leave. Where are they now? Will they parlay their influence into lucrative lobbying jobs or choose to continue public service or try something entirely new? This joint project of the Center for Responsive Politics and Remapping Debate will continuously track where they go, so check back often.
