Virginia Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe has appointed the director of fundraising for GreenTech Automotive to be deputy chief of the Virginia Lottery, despite the company currently being the target of multiple federal investigations.
Randy Wright, a longtime political supporter of McAuliffe, will receive a state salary of $115,000 in his new role according to Watchdog.org.
Wright, an 18-year Norfolk, Va., city councilman, served a central role in the controversial GreenTech Automotive use of the EB-5 visa program, which allowed foreign investors to receive visas in exchange for investment in the company, according to Watchdog.org.
