President Barack Obama’s pick for secretary of health and human services is a former lobbyist for trial lawyers. Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, a Democrat, was executive director of the Kansas Trial Lawyers Association in the 1980s, when she lobbied the state legislature. In her 2006 re-election, she received approximately $900,000 from lawyers and lobbyists, according to the National Institute on Money in State Politics.
