About Corey Lewandowski in brief
Corey R. Lewandowski is an American political operative, lobbyist, political commentator, and author. He was a campaign manager of Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign for President of the United States from January 2015 to June 2016. He has run unsuccessfully for office twice, once in Massachusetts and once in New Hampshire. On August 1, 2019, Lewandowski announced that he was considering seeking the Republican nomination to oppose incumbent Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen in the 2020 United States Senate election. In January 2020, he ultimately decided not to run, while stating that he would have won had he run. On November 12, 2020, it was reported that Lewandowski had contracted COVID-19 after attending an election night event at the White House. He is of Polish and French-Canadian descent. One of his grandfathers was a printer. He is a graduate of the University of Massachusetts Lowell with a B. A. in political science. He received a master’s degree in politicalScience from American University in Washington, DC, in 1997. He also held the position of Seasonal Marine Patrol Officer Trainee for approximately 3. 5 years and successfully graduated the New Hampshire part-time Police Officer Academy. He worked on several campaigns, for a Congressman, worked for the conservative advocacy group Americans for Prosperity and was a lobbyist. In 1999, while working for Congressman Bob Ney, he brought a loaded handgun in a laundry bag into the Longworth House Office Building.
He said it was an accident, that he forgot the gun was in the bag when he put the laundry in it. The charges eventually were dismissed; Lewandowski then unsuccessfully fought for four years to get the gun back. In 2007, before Ney was sentenced on federal corruption charges arising from the Abramoff lobbying scandal, he wrote a letter to the presiding judge, saying that Ney was a mentor and \”surrogate father\” to him and asking for leniency in sentencing. In 2002, he was the campaign manager for the 2002 re-election campaign of U.S. Senator Robert C. Smith of New Hampshire, who was challenged in the Republican primary by John E. Sununu. In 2004, he told a reporter he would be interested to know whether anyone associated with Hamas had attended a fundraising event for SununU. Former New Hampshire Governor Steve Merrill said, \”The politics of ethnic slurs and bigotry have no place in any campaign. We need to reassure Americans that this war is not a war about al-Qaida, not about Islam… Mr. Smith is a better human being than that, and he ought to tell his people to watch themselves. \” President George W. Bush’s spokesperson called Mr Smith’s office. Remarks that paint Arab Americans with a broad brush aren’t helpful, Mr Salemman said, Mr Smith should tell his constituents that he ought not to tell them that he’s a supporter of al-Qaeda. Mr Smith is better than that. Mr. Salemman is of Lebanese descent.
