Santorum's insider connections

Posted by LegiStorm on Jan. 6, 2012

Rick Santorum has positioned himself as a Washington outsider during his presidential campaign, but he's got plenty of connections on K Street.

In fact, the former senator has more revolving door connections than all but a dozen other senators over the past decade, with 28 former staffers who have also lobbied in the past decade.

Santorum has avoided registering as a lobbyist himself although he's worked as a consultant to lobbying firms after his failed re-election bid in 2006. Santorum earned $1.3 million in 2010 and the first half of 2011, with a large chunk of it coming from consulting and media work, according to the Washington Post.

Although he has avoided the label of lobbyist, Santorum's former staffers have not shied away from K Street. The 28 revolving door staffers since 2000 tie him for 13th among all members in that time frame, and all of the members ahead of him on the list had more time in office during that span, meaning there were more staff with a chance to move through the revolving door.

Subjects: Former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA)
