Foley Public Affairs-directeuren opgenomen in The Hill's 2024 Top Lobbyists List

Foley & Lardner LLP public affairs directors Dennis Cardoza, Jennifer Walsh, and Katie Schoettler are recognized on the Top Lobbyists 2024 list by The Hill.

“The lobbyists on this list are some of the best in the business and have been go-to advocates during a year defined by unprecedented political events, legislative logjams, federal spending cut crusades, and big rulemaking swings,” The Hill writes.

Cardoza, a former five-term member of the U.S. House of Representatives, serves as co-chair of Foley’s Federal Public Affairs Practice and chair of the firm’s California Public Affairs Practice. Wielding extensive policy experience with respect to water resource, banking, housing, infrastructure, energy, agriculture, education, foreign affairs, and health care issues, Cardoza advises a broad range of clients on legislative, regulatory, and public policy and advocacy matters.

Walsh, a member of Foley’s Government & Public Policy Practice, offers clients significant government affairs experience. As a former vice president for federal government affairs at a leading multinational health care company and senior staffer in the U.S. House and California legislature, Walsh effectively advances client goals before Congress and the federal administration.

Schoettler counts wide experience in political strategy, the legislative process and policy, crisis management, and strategic communications. As a member of the firm’s Government & Public Policy Practice, she leverages her understanding of the political environment developed through years on Capitol Hill and in local government.

Foley’s Public Policy and Government Relations group provides services covering the full spectrum of public policy, combining comprehensive counsel with proficiency in government relations, political law, strategic positioning, and communications with the practice of law, when needed. The firm’s bipartisan public affairs team, which includes former members of Congress, Chiefs of Staff, committee staff, agency regulators, and grassroots advocacy professionals, has decades of experience advocating on behalf of our clients at the federal level with Congress and the Administration.

Protecting the needs and interests of our clients in the public arena is demanding and requires focused discipline and strategic counsel. Foley’s team brings diverse experience and deep knowledge as well as responsive and creative business solutions in representing our clients federally, in discrete states, and in coordinated national campaigns to achieve clients’ goals simultaneously on the federal, state, and local levels.
