Fleischmann's son registers to lobby Congress

Posted by Jenna Ebersole on April 24, 2015

The son of a Tennessee congressman has joined his father on the Hill, although from a different perspective: as a lobbyist.

Charles M. Fleischmann, son of Rep. Chuck Fleischmann (R-Tenn.), has filed his first lobbying registration paperwork after starting in 2014 as a staff attorney at Husch Blackwell LLP. Chuckie, as he is known, has a 2014 law degree from the University of Alabama School of Law and a bachelor's from Washington and Lee University.

The elder Fleischmann drew fire in 2012 after a report by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington found he paid his son $4,652 in the 2010 election cycle from campaign funds for "wages for work done."

The newly registered lobbyist filed to advocate the House and Senate on behalf of a subsidiary of Lend Lease Corp. Ltd. on "issues related to military privatization opportunities."
