Bearden joins the ranks of registered lobbyists


Former House Speaker Pro Tem Carl Bearden, R-St. Charles, has joined the ranks of registered lobbyists.
According to Missouri Ethics Commission documents, Bearden is registered to lobby for Pelopidas, the firm he is beginning with lobbyists Travis Brown and Rachel Keller Brown to advocate for issues, with the issue at the top of the list being educational vouchers.
For more information on Pelopidas and the push for educational vouchers in Missouri, check the July 18 Turner Report.
And so the revolving door between the legislature and lobbying continues.
