Ex-Florida Senator Martinez Joins DLA Piper
DLA Piper has snagged former Sen. Mel Martinez, R-Fla. as a partner in its government affairs practice.
Martinez was elected to the Senate in 2004 and recently shook up Florida politics by resigning before completing his first term. A native of Cuba, Martinez also served as secretary of Housing and Urban Development in President George W. Bush's administration. He is also a former general chairman of the Republican National Committee. Earlier in his career, Martinez was mayor of Orange County, Florida and he spent some 25 years as a lawyer in private practice.
DLA Piper's government affairs group is co-chaired by former Michigan Gov. and Democratic representative James Blanchard. A 2005 study by Public Citizen found that of all eligible former members of Congress who had left office since 1998, 43 percent registered to lobby. The report also said that 50 percent of departing Senators became lobbyists.

DLA Piper is a well-known global law firm with 76 offices across 30 countries and more than 4,200 lawyers. I wouldn't be shocked if DLA Piper were able to get Ex-Florida Senator Mel Martinez to be a part of them. Besides, he has a very good reputation and he will be a good addition to their global law firm.

Political careers are milestones to someone`s integrity and trustworthiness towards the public, namely the overall society. With every story we hear about, it`s only then when we realize there`s no easy job in politics. I read this post about Aaron DelSignore and his entire humanitarian activity background and it stuck me that people can still provide the possibility of chance equality in our country. The point is to listen and observe, to inquire before we draw conclusions and to name the best in order to lead our nation.
