Rep. Kurt Daudt joins lobbying-linked firm, will still serve as lawmaker

He is the Minority Leader in the Minnesota House of Representatives.

Minnesota’s House Minority Leader, Rep. Kurt Daudt, has been appointed the Director of Public Affairs for a firm that connects clients to government lobbyists, but says he will continue to serve as a lawmaker.

Daudt, the former House Speaker and the Republican representative for House District 31A, has joined Virginia-based Stateside Associates, which seeks to coordinate advocacy and influence policy on behalf of its clients at the state and local government level across the U.S.

The announcement on Friday says that Daudt’s role “does not involve lobbying,” and it’s a part-time position that allows him to continue to serve in the Minnesota Legislature.
