LAD Monthly Meeting • May 2, 2012 • Money and Politics

Join us as we examine the issue of Money in Politics through the eyes of Jeff Thormodsgaard, Senior Associate with Mendez Consulting, Inc. For the last seven years, Jeff has been a legislative and campaign specialist and previously served as the legislative aide to the Chair of the Colorado House Education Committee and aided the liaison to City Council for Denver Mayor Wellington Webb. Mr. Thormodsgaard will share his unique perspective on the role of money in politics and he will likely challenge many of our preconceived notions.

Marisa Dirks, LAD Secretary, will lead a short discussion regarding the Koch brothers and the influence they have on the political landscape in America. This will serve as an introduction to the next LAD film series event on Wednesday, May 16, which will feature the documentary film, “Koch Brothers: Exposed”
