Mark Block was the State Director of the Wisconsin chapter of Americans for Prosperity, a free market advocacy group opposing proposals by U.S. President Barack Obama to reform heath care system and institute a cap and trade system to address global warming.[1]
In 2011, he served as Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain's campaign manager or "Chief Operating Officer", as his official title with the campaign states.[2]
Scandals
Block settled a lawsuit in 2001 accusing him of illegally coordinating a Wisconsin Supreme Court justice's re-election with an outside group. Block agreed to pay $15,000 and stay out of politics for three years.[3][4]
