Southwest Airlines is putting recently retired U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt on its board of directors, only months after the former politician joined a high-powered D.C. lobbying firm.
Blunt spent 12 years in the U.S. Senate after 14 years as a Republican from Missouri, including time on the Commerce Subcommittee on Aviation.
In April, only four months after leaving the U.S. Senate, Blunt, took a job as the chairman of the Leadership Strategies Advisory Services Group in the Washington, D.C. office of Husch Blackwell Strategies, a government affairs advisory firm.
