Dave Brat (VA-LOSER) has found the revolving door

https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/virginia-politics/former-congressman-brat-lands-job-at-liberty-university-business-school/2019/01/02/72d19942-0ebe-11e9-84fc-d58c33d6c8c7_story.html?utm_term=.bf998fd73f47

Outgoing congressman Brat lands job at Liberty University business school

By Gregory S. Schneider January 2 at 3:30 PM
Outgoing congressman Dave Brat (R) has wasted no time finding a new gig in academia after losing his seat in Congress, taking over Wednesday as dean of the business school at Liberty University in Lynchburg.

The announcement came just a day before the 116th Congress convened in Washington with Democrat Abigail Spanberger replacing Brat as representative of Virginia’s 7th District.

Brat lost to Spanberger in November after serving two terms. He is best known for his shocking upset of then-House Majority Leader Eric Cantor in 2014, beating the powerful incumbent in a Republican primary that foreshadowed Donald Trump’s populist power at the polls in 2016.

The Republican who once toppled Cantor (also VA - LOSER) ran timidly this time in Virginia’s 7th District

A former chairman of the economics department of Randolph-Macon College outside Richmond, Brat cast himself as a conservative economist who would challenge the Republican orthodoxy.
