Barry Rhoads,CEO of the Rhoads Group, speaks highly of John Thune:
When the spotlight shone on the junior senator from South Dakota, GOP darling John Thune (R), this summer as he fought to keep Ellsworth Air Force Base off the Pentagon’s chopping block, Rhoads’s name could not escape the notice of those who had all eyes turned to the fight.
The Rhoads Group, along with Kutak Rock LLP, was hired to save Ellsworth from the Pentagon’s 2005 round of base realignments and closures, and implicitly to keep Thune’s campaign promise to ensure that the Air Force base remains open.
“Thune worked doggedly,” said Rhoads, who sat in numerous meetings with the senator and his staff this summer. “This deal was not preordained that he was going to win. That base was at risk.”
And the Pittsburgh Steelers fan adds: “Thune was a great quarterback.”
Rhoads is an expert in these sort of fights.
