Tom Davis: My New Million-Dollar Consulting Job ‘Is Not a Revolving Door’

Rep. Tom Davis, the seven-term Virginian who’s retiring this year, may have taken a seven-figure position with Deloitte Consulting. But don’t accuse him of being just another beneficiary of the “revolving door.” According to The Washington Post, Davis says he doesn’t fit the category because he was a private contractor before he became a public servant.

“This is not a revolving door for me,” Davis said. “I am basically doing what I did before I went into government.”

Deloitte, for its part, is being more forthright. In a statement issued Monday, the global consulting firm cites, as one of Davis’s strengths, his role as “an expert in federal procurement policy.”

Davis, who will serve as director of Deloitte’s federal government services division, starts his new job next week.
