defeated congresspeople attend "Life after Congress" seminar

Would you trade power and money for more money? That�s the question many soon-to-be former members of Congress are asking themselves as they navigate the K Street job market.

A closed-door panel of defeated and retiring members, including Katherine Harris, R-Fla.; Clay Shaw, R-Fla.; Mike Bilirakis, R-Fla.; Anne Northup, R-Ky.; J.D. Hayworth, R-Ariz.; and Ed Case, D-Hawaii, turned up in the Longworth Building on Tuesday for a career advice panel called �Life After Congress.�

�The main idea is you�re making the transition between being the grovelee versus the groveler,� said former Appropriations Chairman Bob Livingston, who now helms his own lobbying shop. �Before you were a Democrat or Republican. Now you are bipartisan beyond belief.�

He suggested they talk to some of the 37,000 lobbyists in the city and find out what they do, according to our spy in the room.
