Rudy Barry is the managing director at Whitmer & Worrall, working towards his Master’s degree in Business Administration at The George Washington University, and a two time Bryce Harlow Fellow. Professional advocates are critical to effective lawmaking as they educate lawmakers and their staff–and that is a calling Rudy lives out daily.
“The role of advocacy is so important because congressional offices are inundated with more and more information through the 24 hour news cycle, social media, and advocacy groups,” Rudy said. “It’s really important for experts in specific fields to educate members of congress and their staff.”
Earning the trust of the legislative staff is critical to being heard when bills come up that can affect client industries.
“It’s an important part of advocacy and it’s critically important to have an ongoing trusting relationships with staff if you want to accomplish your goals.”
We are proud to support Rudy in his pursuit of educating lawmakers and working with businesses to ensure that policy decisions are made for the common good.
