I've been involved in Iowa politics and legislative work for over three decades. For almost 20 years I worked for the House Republican Staff, primarily on Appropriations issues. Then I worked for the administration of Governor Branstad, primarily in purchasing, construction, human resources, and accounting. My experience gives me good insight into the legislative process and how to formulate the best plan for achieving clients' goals.
