Where’s Rep. Sullivan?: Segway Edition
In a flurry of fall fundraisers, lobbyists are itching to stand out. One recent event really succeeded. Tuesday night, at least five lobbyists and an unknown number of donors planned to take to the streets with Rep. John Sullivan (R-OK)–on Segways.
Lobbyist hosts included Liz Williams and Stephen Aaron, who lobby on behalf of the National Rifle Association, Chris Peace who represents United Technologies, Glenn LeMunyon of the Lemunyon Group, and Colin Chapman of Chapman Capitol Consulting.
Chapman represents Doyon Drilling and the American Trucking Association while LeMunyon represents the Air Transport Services Group. (Sullivan sits on the House Energy and Commerce and the Select Energy Independence and Global Warming committees).
The tour started at conservative mecca, the Capitol Hill Club, and ended where so many other fundraisers do–the Tortilla Coast.
