With the new Democratic House majority and Republicans maintaining control of the Senate, Washington, D.C., now enters a period of divided government in the run up to the 2020 presidential election.  We will no doubt see a politically-charged and highly partisan environment where both parties will be turning out messaging in preparation for 2020, not only in the form of legislation, but also through committee hearings and investigations in the House. 

Below are the real world issues we see as impactful for you and your organization:

  • Oversight and Investigations
  • Budget and Government Spending
  • Energy/Environment
  • Financial Services
  • Health Care
  • Immigration/Justice
  • Infrastructure
  • Tax
  • Trade
