Honored to join fellow board members and new friends at the Gateway Alliance against Human Trafficking annual dinner last week. This meaningful event not only helped raise funds to continue to support training and education in the fight against human trafficking but also marked the organization's 10th anniversary—a decade of impactful work. Thanks to Executive Director Shima Rostami for her dedication to this cause, to Senator Brian Williams for delivering a compelling keynote address, and to all of our volunteers who made the night a success.

Today, I had the pleasure of attending the Texas Taxpayers and Research Association (TTARA) annual meeting. TTARA plays a pivotal role in shaping tax policy and fiscal matters here in Texas. Their work is essential for anyone doing business or paying taxes in the Lone Star State. If you haven’t already, I highly recommend becoming a member and joining this important organization. #TTARA #AnnualMeeting #TaxPolicy #HuschBlackwellStrategies

The Women's Initiative in Leadership (WIL) at Institute of Politics at Harvard Kennedy School recently hosted Stacy McHatton McBride, HBS Executive Vice President of Federal Affairs, to get an insider’s perspective of Capitol Hill. Stacy is an authority on how Congress operates and in her more than 20 years in Washington has successfully counseled lawmakers through some of the most critical and lasting legislative achievements of recent sessions of Congress. #HBS #HBSFED #HuschBlackwellStrategies #Congress #CapitolHill #leadership

I am beyond honored to have been appointed Chairman of Missouri Governor-elect Mike Kehoe’s inaugural committee. Mike and Claudia Kehoe are going to provide incredible leadership for the state of Missouri. I am proud to serve as the Chairman of this Inauguration, even more proud to call them my friends, and grateful for what they mean to me and my family. This inauguration is more than a celebration—it’s the launchpad for Governor-elect Kehoe’s ambitious agenda to make our streets safer, improve the economic well-being of Missouri families, and ensure Missouri is doing its part to support common sense policies to secure our nation.
