Sean Duffy's former chief of staff sells pot
By Ruth Conniff
Chief of staff to former Wisconsin Congressman Sean Duffy is now working for a company that produces marijuana products.
Pete Meachum, who worked for Duffy before the Congressman resigned in September, is now senior director for government affairs at the Cronos Group, according to a report in the insider government affairs publication Legistorm.
Cronos Group, Legistorm reports, in its Caught Our Eye feature, bills itself as an innovative global cannabinoid company.
The Canada-based group has not disclosed a U.S. lobbying presence at this time, the report adds.
Meachum had served as Duffys chief since 2013, briefly taking leave from the office to head Donald Trumps 2016 campaign efforts in Wisconsin. He has also worked for then-Republican Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and for ex-Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite (R-Fla.).
