"[W]hen tobacco companies wanted to keep the Food and Drug Administration from regulating their industry, they looked to former DeLay staffer Karl Gallant at [Buckham's] Alexander Strategy Group." [2]

Gallant lobbied for Reynolds American on tobacco regulation.[3]

Gallant was also a registered lobbyist for the Alexander Strategy Group, a firm closed in January 2006 because of its connections to convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff.
