Now That He's Running For Senate, Will Tommy Thompson Finally Give Up His Lobbying Ties?

Dec 01, 2011

American Bridge 21st Century issued a press release today welcoming Tommy Thompson to the Wisconsin Senate race:

Just as he has been pretending not to be a lobbyist, Tommy Thompson has spent the last few months pretending not to be a candidate for Senate. Maintaining this “unofficial candidate” status has allowed him to continue working for his corporate clients while raising money from them for his campaign with a wink and a nod. Now that Thompson is officially announcing his candidacy and dropping the charade, the question remains, will he sever his ties with his corporate clients?

[…]

“It is impossible for Tommy Thompson to serve two masters; either he will represent the interests of Wisconsinites or those of his corporate clients. It is time for him to choose,” said Matt Thornton, spokesman for American Bridge 21st Century.
