The overriding philosophy to this government relations effort is a bi-partisan, constructive, solution- oriented approach to public policy challenges. I also work to provide timely and responsive analysis to clients and place a premium on a professional approach to all parties I work with. To achieve the most advantageous results requires the ability to take advantage of both formal and informal opportunities for interaction with identified parties.
