Gov. Beverly Perdue's son will work as a Washington lobbyist.
Garrett Perdue has joined Womble Carlyle, the state's largest law firm and home to former Gov. Jim Hunt among other prominent Democrats.
Perdue worked for two years in commercial real estate with Jones Lange LaSalle before joining his mother's gubernatorial campaign full time. He was often by her side in a dark suit at campaign events last year.
He previously worked as an associate with Womble Carlyle.
According to the firm, Perdue will work with Hunt and others on economic development and government relations strategy in the Raleigh and Washington, D.C., offices.
Other new hires at the firm include former Ohio Rep. Deborah Pryce, longtime lobbyists Harry Katrichis, Lori Salley and Vicki Hicks.
Update: "While he'll have an office in Raleigh and will be working with Governor Hunt, he won't be doing any lobbying in Raleigh," said spokesman Russell Thomas.

The corruption in this state never ends does it?
