Indiana Senate - Messer

Indiana's Trumpy Tea-Baggers don't like The Swamp but for some reason they elected this swampy guy to the house and are now trying to turn him into a Senator.

"Messer left public office to join another of the state’s top law and lobbying shops: Ice Miller.

The fact that Messer became a lobbyist while still finishing his final year in the state House raised ethical concerns about the revolving door, despite Messer’s insistence that he focused on federal issues until his state term was up.

Still, Murphy who was serving with Messer at the time, was among those bothered by Messer walking into the influential lobbying firm soon after a legislative session in which lawmakers worked on issues important to some of Ice Miller’s biggest clients." 
  • Doesn't live in Indiana - How can you be an Indiana Politician and be the Virginia coach of the year?  (from the link above)
"Messer was named fifth grade coach of the year by his Virginia youth basketball league and his hoopsters star in one of Messer’s ads." 
Messer's wife is lawyer who somehow got an out-of-the-norm, $250,000 a year, part-time gig for the city of Fishers, Indiana. 
  • Doesn't live in Indiana part 2 (from Wife link)
the .. "part-time arrangement, which (Mrs.) Messer primarily does from home in suburban Washington"

Pretty Swampy.... yet Indiana Republicans think this guy should represent Indiana to help Trump clean out the swamp? Yeah right...
