Ex-Pa. Gov. Tom Corbett takes Washington for a spin

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Oct. 15, 2021

One of America's least-liked former governors is now trying his hand at influencing Washington policy.

Former Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett (R) recently registered as a first-time lobbyist through regional law firm Spilman Thomas and Battle. He's part of a Spilman team working on unspecified issues for the New Venture Fund, a nonprofit that supports philanthropists' public-interest projects.

Corbett, who was wildly unpopular among constituents in the latter half of his 2011-2015 term, was the state's first incumbent governor to lose his reelection bid in more than 160 years. He joined Spilman as counsel in 2018.
