WHY RUSSELL WORKS IN GOVERNMENT RELATIONS

“I am deeply grateful for the opportunities that I have been afforded in public service; however, Washington, D.C., Frankfort or city hall certainly do not have patents on ideas that benefit our communities. I look forward to utilizing my experiences gained in government to help businesses, nonprofits and individuals navigate the shoals of the current regulatory environment to create jobs, avoid compliance pitfalls and seek to maximize potential for growth.”
