WASHINGTON — Former Rep. Henry Bonilla has withdrawn his nomination to be the ambassador to the Organization of American States and announced Monday that he will join a lobbying firm as a consultant.

Bonilla, a San Antonio Republican, is among dozens of presidential appointees, including judicial nominees, who have yet to receive a hearing from the Democrat-controlled Senate because of a disagreement with the White House over recess appointments.

“The process is pretty frozen, with no end in sight,” Bonilla said.

The former San Antonio congressman is joining the Normandy Group, a $1 billion business-consulting firm.

How very interesting. I have to wonder what is next for him.
