Bridget Anshus knows a thing or two about stamina. She has completed the bicycling equivalent of running a marathon, riding 100 miles for fun, and has hiked for miles at National Parks across the United States.
Originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Bridget knew she wanted to move to Washington D.C. to pursue her interest in politics and government. While studying for her undergraduate degree at American University, she became interested in health care policy while interning for non-profits and advocacy firms.
Those experiences propelled her to Venn Strategies, where she works today as a senior associate on the health care team, working with clients like the American Diabetes Association and other trade associations. She is also earning her Master’s degree in political management from the George Washington University to further build her skillset in government relations.
Bridget is excited to be a Bryce Harlow Fellow, saying, “I’m grateful for the opportunity to contribute to changing the reputation of lobbying. Government advocacy is critical in developing sound public policy, ensuring all interests are heard. I am honored to be a part of the Bryce Harlow community.”
