Another One Gone posted by Katie Schlieper on 05-16-2008 Sen. John McCain's lobbyist-heavy staff took another loss today in the wake of news about the less than savory folks those lobbyists used to work for. Eric Burgeson, an energy lobbyist, was fired in accordance with the campaign's new conflict of interest policy. He worked for a firm that also handled lobbying for Serbia and Qatar according to Ben Smith at Politico.

Miller has been in the state Senate since 1975. Appropriately enough, Miller may announce his run at a fundraising event. Published in: Clean Elections | Maryland |
