Feldman worked for 13 years in the Department of Justice as a tax litigator before getting into politics in 2001 and served as an Obama delegate to the Democratic National Convention last summer. Exactly what he is doing Feldman is not permitted to say — part of the job description is that he's sworn to 100 percent secrecy — but he will be a busy man the next couple of months.
In addition to his day job as a private practice attorney, Feldman was already spending time gearing up for what will be a challenging 426th Session of the Maryland General Assembly that kicks off Jan. 14.
With the state facing steep fiscal restraints Feldman said he will be challenged in his role as the head of the Montgomery County Delegation to Annapolis to ensure that his constituents are not disproportionately affected by any spending cuts.
Now add his duties with the Obama transition team and, these, days life is busy for Feldman.
"I think that it's an exciting time for the country and for those of us who are fortunate enough to be part of the transition it's exciting and it's a privilege," said Feldman.
Feldman has been rumored as a potential Democratic challenger to incumbent Comptroller Peter Franchot in 2010, but Feldman was mum when asked about any such future intentions.
"That [is] two years away and not something that I'm spending a lot of time thinking about right now," he said.
