Retired Or Defeated, Former Members Seek New Career Paths After Congress

Most former members who retired, ran for other offices or were defeated last year are settling into their post-congressional lives by resuming business careers, entering academia, actually living out retirement or even making plans to return in next year's elections.
Not counting three former House members who moved to the other side of the Capitol as senators from their respective states, about 60 members of the House and Senate left Capitol Hill in January either voluntarily or involuntarily. In contrast to past years, fewer -- or only about 20 percent -- appear to be spending most of their time inside the Beltway in their post-congressional pursuits.
And not so many this year have gone through the time-honored revolving door of joining K Street firms, whether because of the change in party control of both chambers or because of tighter lobbying restrictions.
Many are choosing to remain visible as well as politically active -- such as former Senate Republican Conference Chairman Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, who is writing a book about what he describes as the "gathering storm" of threats to America and has signed up with Fox News as a commentator.
Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, who chose not to seek re-election after initially winning his party's nomination for another term, has founded First Principles, a company that runs his conservative advocacy group, and created a blog, tomdelay.com, to further his political views.
Former Reps. Charles Bass, R-N.H., and Harold Ford Jr., D-Tenn., are continuing their political careers by helping to lead the moderate wings of their respective parties. Ford has been elected chairman of the Democratic Leadership Council, while Bass is president of the Main Street Partnership.
They also are holding down more lucrative day jobs: Ford as a senior policy adviser to Merrill Lynch and Bass as a senior adviser to a New Hampshire law firm.
"There is a life after Congress," observed Bass. "And it's not at all bad."
But a number of former members are eager to return to the offices from which they were unceremoniously ousted: Former Reps. Jim Ryun, R-Kan., and Jeb Bradley, R-N.H., have already declared their candidacies for the 2008 election, and several others are publicly considering a comeback bid.
After losing a primary battle to now-Rep. Tim Walberg, R-Mich., former GOP Rep. Joe Schwarz, a party moderate, left open a number of political options, including switching parties to face off against Walberg in 2008.
Last month, Schwarz, who has returned to practicing otolaryngology in his Michigan hometown, was named to the independent review group evaluating Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
Meanwhile, former GOP Rep. Anne Northup is running for governor in her home state of Kentucky -- where she is taking on embattled Republican Gov. Ernie Fletcher, a one-time congressional colleague.
Bradley said his decision to try to reclaim his seat, although not initiated by any one moment, happened within a short time after the Nov. 7 general election last year.
Ryun said his campaign is based on a desire to "restore Kansas values to the 2nd District. The support for my return has been very encouraging." But Ryun does face significant competition in the primary from the party's moderate wing.
Universities nationwide have opened their doors to several of the former legislators, although many are mixing professorships with positions on corporate boards and law and lobbying firms.
Former Sens. Lincoln Chafee, R-R.I.; Mike DeWine, R-Ohio, and James Jeffords, I-Vt., have all taken positions at various colleges. And former Reps. Sherwood Boehlert, R-N.Y.; Ford; Jim Kolbe, R-Ariz., and Clay Shaw, R-Fla., have either joined or hope to join academia in their life after Congress.
A select few were elected to new political offices. Sens. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio; Benjamin Cardin, D-Md., and Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., all moved from the House, although four other House colleagues -- including Ford -- failed to win their races.
Former Reps. Ted Strickland, D-Ohio; Jim Gibbons, R-Nev., and C.L. (Butch) Otter, R-Idaho, are now governors of their respective states, although Gibbons and Otter were the only successful GOP lawmakers out of a total of seven who ran for governor last year.
But those who were defeated are moving on, like former Rep. Tom Osborne, R-Neb. The legendary former Nebraska football coach, who lost a bid for governor in the primary, has returned to his alma mater to teach two leadership classes in the College of Business Administration.
In addition to Santorum, other defeated Republicans have relocated to conservative think tanks. Former Sen. Jim Talent, R-Mo., now at Fleishman-Hillard Government Relations, is also lending his experience to programs on welfare and defense at the Heritage Foundation, where former Rep. Ernest Istook, R-Okla., who lost a bid for governor, also now hangs his hat.
Former House Ways and Means Chairman Bill Thomas, R-Calif., has joined the American Enterprise Institute as a visiting fellow to study the political process and the economy, while former Rep. Jim Kolbe, R-Ariz., a former House Foreign Operations Appropriations Subcommittee chairman, is now at the German Marshall Fund -- while also signing on as an adviser to the international consulting firm of Kissinger McLarty.
The legacies of two retired members -- former Sen. Paul Sarbanes, D-Md., and Rep. Michael Bilirakis, R-Fla.-- are being carried on by their respective sons, both newly elected to the House.
Rep. John Sarbanes now represents Maryland's 3rd District, the same seat his father occupied from 1970-76. Bilirakis and his son have effectively switched places, with the elder Bilirakis now running the family law office -- as Rep. Gus Bilirakis did while his father represented Florida's 9th District.
Aside from Sarbanes, who served 36 years in Congress, the longest serving members to retire were Reps. Henry Hyde, R-Ill., with 32 years, and Thomas and former Rep. Martin Olav Sabo, D-Minn., who each served 28 years in the House.
Hyde and Sabo have both truly retired, but Rep. Jim Leach, the Iowa Republican who was ousted after 30 years, is now a visiting professor at the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University.
"I'm staying as far away from Capitol Hill as I possibly can," said Leach. "I couldn't be happier in my post-congressional life."
Leach is not alone in his post-election euphoria. Former Rep. Rob Simmons, R-Conn., who was confirmed last week as Connecticut's first business advocate, said he does not miss his weekly Southwest Airlines flight to D.C., or the "lovely floor debates."
"It gets worse and worse down there," said Simmons, who lost to now-Democratic Rep. Joe Courtney by a razor-thin margin -- and who was reported to have been considering a run for his old seat until his new state post came along.
Three of last year's departees are confronted by legal problems. Former Rep. Bob Ney, R-Ohio, is serving a stretch in a West Virginia federal penitentiary after pleading guilty to charges arising out of the Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal.
Former Rep. Mark Foley, R-Fla., is reported to remain under federal investigation for his sexually explicit messages to congressional pages -- a scandal that helped cost the GOP control of the House -- and DeLay is still awaiting trial on state campaign finance charges in Texas that helped to end his career in elective office.
Following is a rundown of House and Senate members who left their prior positions in January, where they are now, and -- where available -- current contact information.
