Former US Sen. Byron Dorgan, who now serves as a Senior Policy Advisor at Arent Fox in Washington, DC, was interviewed for POLITICO’s “Answer This” feature this week.

POLITICO writes:

Byron Dorgan may be out of office (he left the US Senate in 2011 after 18 years), but he’s not out of ideas: In March, he released “Blowout,” a novel about oil hedge-fund managers sabotaging clean-energy research, with co-author David Hagberg.

Dorgan currently hangs his hat at Arent Fox, where he’s a senior policy adviser, and the Bipartisan Policy Center, where he’s a senior fellow.
