There’s a lot of sensationalism in the American political climate these days. The tone of discourse and the portrayal of Washington in the media has shifted. It’s important to re-center ourselves and refocus our attention on the fact that the government does (and can!) function properly. Drawing on the Clinton Administration as an example, we see that it’s possible for the government to pass significant legislation, many of which affect multinationals, even when the government appears to be in disarray.
Joining me to explore this topic further is my guest, Elizabeth Frazee. Named a “Top Lobbyist” by The Hill newspaper, Elizabeth has a 30-year career in Washington that encompasses over a decade working in high-level jobs on Capitol Hill, executive experience at leading tech and entertainment companies and years of successful representation of companies, trade associations and non-profits as a policy advocate and political strategist.
