Republican Button Man?

Tom Humphrey notes the new-found enthusiasm a former Democratic Party chair (and current Charles Robert Bone fan) has for the Republican cause:

Ramsey was noting that Randy Button, former chairman of the state Democratic Party and now a lobbyist, gave $10,000 to the GOP at the affair. And he got Steve Buttry, former Republican representative from Knoxville, to sign on with his lobbying firm.

CORRECTION: David Davis Press Release Inaccurate

By Kleinheider Posted on July 17, 2008 at 10:24 am

The Campaign of Congressman Davis got everyone in a tizzy yesterday claiming in a press release that his opponent, Phil Roe, had used the services of a lobbying shop headed up by former Democratic campaign chairman Randy Button.

Turns out, someone (me) should have checked the facts. It turns out that the Capitol Strategy Group on the campaign financial disclosure of Phil Roe is an entirely different outfit than Button’s.

Roe’s Capitol Strategy Group is based in the Nashville area, but in Brentwood rather than downtown Nashville.

Post Politics apologizes for the regurgitation of erroneous information.
