After Mark Warner was elected Governor over Earley with 52 percent of the vote, Martin relocated to Connecticut to work on the successful 2002 Congressional campaign of Connecticut Republican Rob Simmons. After Simmons assumed office, Martin joined his Congressional staff as a legislative assistant in 2003. In the fall of 2004, Martin took a leave of absence from Simmons’s Congressional staff to work on the Congressman’s re-election campaign in 2004. After Simmons was reelected, Martin returned to Simmons’s Congressional payroll and remained there until August 2005.
