In reply to the discussion: Rep. Alan Grayson weds girlfriend running for his House seat [View all]MADem
(135,425 posts)22. She's a former LOBBYIST. smh!
In the past two years she was listed as a federal lobbyist with her company to represent Biocryst Pharmaceuticals, which advertises the drug Rapivab as a first-and-only one-dose intravenous treatment for influenza.

She is EVERYTHING that is wrong with Congress--obscenely wealthy, looking to get richer, marrying that hedge fund owner in ethics hot water with the House, who dumped his first wife and carried on this woman for several years while so doing...
And everyone here is oohing and aaahing because he (not her--no one knows her from a hole in the wall) says a few stupid fist-pounding phrases (Fight the power! You deserve a fair shake!) while doing absolutely NOTHING to actually help people.
Ugh. People like this will be the death of the Democratic franchise. And the band played on...."Goodguy team?" Give me a break.
I hope she loses the primary. ANYONE would be better than a lobbyist in a catbird seat.
