Appropriations
Most of the work that matters in this town still runs through the appropriations process. I help organizations that need that help in Congress: turning a real problem into a clear ask, finding the right committees and Members, and following it through the cycle.
Happy to talk through whether an appropriations angle is real for you, and what a useful next step engaging Congress looks like.
Oversight / power of the purse
Congress' power of the purse is where oversight meets spending. I help organizations navigate that process when the fight is appropriations and accountability, not a press release.
The lanes I work most often are healthcare, defense, and veterans. Digital assets and blockchain policy sit later in the queue when there is a concrete congressional problem.
Healthcare
Healthcare advocacy when the leverage is federal spending, program design, and patient access through Congress.
Defense
Defense work for me is appropriations and oversight: budgets, authorities, and the committees that move them.
Veterans
Veterans policy through the appropriations and oversight lanes that decide what veterans actually receive.
Blockchain
Digital assets and blockchain when there is a concrete congressional problem to solve.
About
I spent about six years as a Congressional staffer on these issues. Potomac GR is the firm I built to keep doing that work from the outside: appropriations and legislative strategy for organizations that need a serious presence in Congress.
