Rep. Foxx staffer heads to Koch-funded group

Posted by on Dec. 20, 2019

David Voorman, who worked his way up from intern to legislative counsel for Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.), has jumped to the advocacy world. Voorman started this month as a senior policy analyst for Americans for Prosperity, focusing on free speech and free expression. 

The libertarian group, founded in 2004, is funded by Charles Koch and the late David Koch and promotes ideas of "free economy," according to its tax-exemption filings. David Koch, who died in August, served as the chairman of the board for the Americans for Prosperity Foundation.  

In 2018, Americans for Prosperity's former director of policy made the opposite move, joining the House Education and Labor Committee, for which Foxx is the ranking member.
