Boehner aide lobbied for AIG, Exxon, Pfizer, Chamber of Commerce
(NEWSER) - The new “ Pledge to America ” the GOP intends to unveil today, as a kind of sequel to the "Contract with America" of old, was written by a guy who was, until a few months ago, a lobbyist for insurance giant AIG, along with big oil and pharma companies. The draft copy of the pledge that Republicans sent to reporters lists Brian Wild as its “Author.” Wild currently works for John Boehner, but up until early this year he worked for the Nickles Group lobbying firm, where he and others were paid $740,000 to lobby for AIG, along with $1.3 million from Exxon Mobil and $625,000 from Pfizer, the Huffington Post reports.
