Uhm... no. Him being from a wealthy family is not an example of hypocrisy. Nor is his family business being fed with government contracts. You've _badly_ misunderstood the issue if you think that's hypocrisy.

The question is... has he been a strong proponent of extra licensing requirements for government contractors. Licensing requirements that his family is able to easily handle, but will push out smaller competitors. That would be hypocrisy.

Has he supported legislation against subcontracting or legislation that artificially limits who the government (or private industry) can hire?

It's not hypocritical to offer services to the government. You're confusing neoliberals with anarchists.
