Every member of Congress has a team of lawyers, economists, and policy experts to help guide them through government systems. That means prior government experience can be helpful, but it isn’t required to succeed. Even career politicians moving from local to federal office need time to adjust, like any new job, it typically takes 6–12 months to get fully acclimated.
Limiting leadership to only career politicians reduces diversity and fresh ideas. Leaders like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Abdullahi Omar, Abraham Lincoln and more came from outside traditional government paths and changed the conversation in Congress.
I bring real-world experience negotiating with major healthcare companies, building global benefit, compensation, retirement, leave plans, and compliance policies, skills Congress needs to create policies that work for everyday Americans.
