HMM: Amazon on Democrat-Hiring Binge.

Amazon is getting ready for the new Democratic House — and building a wall of protection against any potential focus on its growth and influence.

In the last month the tech, commerce, and media giant has hired three key Democratic aides, who will help with legislation and diversity issues.

The trade outlet Legistorm reported the latest hire and blogged, “Amazon is continuing its hiring sweep of Congress, adding its third Democratic aide in a month.”

It reported the hiring of Tina Tower as a program manager for public policy. She was Massachusetts Democrat Sen. Ed Markey’s assistant to the chief of staff.

And Politico reported two other big hires, House chiefs of staff LaDavia Drane and Tony Clair to handle the company’s ties to the Congressional Black Caucus, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, and the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus.

The outlet said that Drane came from the office of New York Rep. Yvette Clarke and Clair from North Carolina Rep. G.K. Butterfield.

Another argument for my revolving-door surtax.
