This next step in my career allows me the ability to continue to be a part of the team that helped elect a Republican majority in the House as well as utilize my strategic and legislative background to help our clients navigate the maze that is Washington, DC. I am grateful to the Speaker for the opportunity to serve the people’s House and am looking forward to this exciting new chapter for me and my family.”
