Joseph Crowley (D-NY) and former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle (D-SD) have been named to the advisory board of Northern Swan Holdings, an investment firm focused on industry <a href="http://www.ganjapreneur.com/topic/investments" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">investments</a>, according to a report from <a href="https://thehill.com/business-a-lobbying/444543-crowley-and-daschle-named-to-cannabis-board">The Hill</a>.
Kyle Detwiler, CEO of Colombia-based Northern Swan, called Daschle “a pre-eminent expert in health and wellness whose experience in healthcare policy reform will be invaluable to our company’s expansion in the global medical cannabis market.”
<blockquote>“Having worked tirelessly as a public servant for almost 30 years to ensure all Americans have access to affordable health care, we look forward to working closely with Senator Daschle as he brings a similar level of commitment and dedication to medical cannabis.” – Detwiler, to The Hill

Daschle was defeated by Republican John Thune in 2004; while Crowley lost his seat in 2018 after losing the Democratic primary to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
