According to a report from Politico’s Andrew Restuccia and Daniel Strauss, former Sen. Luther Strange is planning a return to Washington, D.C., where he had a short-lived tenure in the U.S. Senate, in addition to a very long lobbying career prior to coming back to Alabama in the early part of the last decade.

Strange was defeated in last year’s U.S. Senate special election GOP primary runoff by Roy Moore, who was defeated by Democrat Doug Jones in December’s special election.

According to Politico, the former Republican senator could wind up working in private practice or with some role within the Trump administration.

“He’s been sounding out professional contacts, and weighing whether he can get a job at a federal agency or set up his own consulting shop,” Restuccia and Strauss wrote. “Those close to him say he’s increasingly likely to land at a law firm, where he’ll split his time between Alabama and D.C.”

“Strange has been interviewing with several firms in Washington over the last couple weeks, including Venable, according to two people familiar with the issue,” it added.

The piece speculates Strange could be tapped to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and that given his tenure in the U.S. Senate, he would have no difficulty with confirmation.

Before being appointed by then-Gov. Robert Bentley to the U.S. Senate to fill the vacancy left behind Jeff Sessions, President Donald Trump’s pick for U.S. Attorney General, Strange served as Alabama’s attorney general. Strange was elected to the position after defeating then-incumbent AG Troy King.

In 2006, Strange also made a bid for Alabama’s lieutenant governor post but was defeated by Democrat Jim Folsom, Jr.
