Phil Roe’s Buttonmen

UPDATE: This post was based on a bogus press release.

The reelection campaign of Congressman David Davis alleges in a press release that his opponent has used the serves of the Capitol Strategy Group, LLC, a firm founded by Democratic insiders Randy Button and Kim Adkins:

“This trend is of great concern to me. Republican primary voters do not want their primary election influenced by Democratic lobbyists that reside outside of East Tennessee,” said Rusty Crowe, one of Davis’ campaign co-chairs.

According to the Capitol Strategy Group’s website, Randy Button founded The Capitol Strategy Group, LLC as a lobbying and government affairs firm. Recently, he served as the Director of Victory 2006 — the Tennessee Democratic coordinated campaign. Randy has also served as a two-term chairman of the Tennessee Democratic Party, as a senior advisor to the 2002 Bredesen for Governor Campaign and volunteered on Al Gore’s presidential and U.S. Senate campaigns and both of Ned Ray McWherter’s gubernatorial campaigns.
