David Gellman loves figuring out what federal policies will mean for local governments.
David is working as an Intergovernmental Affairs Associate at Simon & Company, helping his clients navigate the federal landscape, from getting grant funding to explaining the complex appropriations process on Capitol Hill.
Originally from Miami, Fla., David earned a bachelor’s degree in government from Georgetown University. After graduating, he spent three years working in the U.S. House of Representatives.
Now he’s pursuing a Master’s degree in Public Administration at the George Washington University and serving as the Vice President of the International City County Managers Association, an organization for students interested in local government. David has also served as the editor of Policy Perspectives, a George Washington University journal, and is now a contributing author to the publication.
“I’m grateful for the Bryce Harlow Fellowship,” Gellman said. “I am proud to be associated with an organization whose mission is to promote the positive change lobbying can have on people’s lives nationwide.”
