During my 20+ years working at the Texas capitol, I have participated in every stage of the legislative process and provided legal and strategic guidance to elected officials, legislative staff, business leaders, and advocacy groups on a wide range of policy and legal issues. Some highlights of my legislative experience include:• drafting thousands of bills and amendments, including omnibus tax legislation, complex school finance legislation, and constitutional amendments for the statewide ballot• collaborating with the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, and legislators from both political parties on legal, policy, and procedural strategy• conducting annual ethics presentations for groups of over 200 capitol attorneys• assisting parliamentarians on the floor of the Texas House and Senate• privately advising state officials on decisions affecting millions of Texans Outside of the capitol, I have taught college-level government courses, addressed numerous groups on issues related to the legislature and public interest law, and served my local neighborhood association, YMCA, PTA, and school district. I've also spent a lot of time seeing live music in Austin, Texas.
