Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush is now finding his luck in the daily fantasy sports (DFS) industry after his dreams of becoming the next U.S. president – just like his brother and father – was crushed by no less than businessman Donald Trump during the Republican primary cycle.
Tampa Bay Times reported that Bush will act as a “strategic consultant” for the law firm Buchanan, Ingersoll & Rooney, and its clients. Among the clients of the law firm were fantasy sports giants DraftKings and FanDuel.
The firm, which is headquartered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is known for having a strong lobbying presence in Washington, D.C. Lobbyist tracker OpenSecrets claimed that Buchanan has lobbied on behalf of Turing Pharmaceuticals, formerly headed by Martin Shkreli, In 2015 and 2016.
“There are very few people that have the breadth of experience that Gov. Bush has, both in the public and private sector,” Buchanan CEO Joseph Dougherty said in a statement. “We believe his insight will be a tremendous asset to our attorneys and clients.”
