The Hill Quotes Brendan Dunn on Trump Pick to Lead Legislative Affairs Office
Contact:
The Hill has quoted Akin Gump public law and policy partner Brendan Dunn in the article “Meet the woman who is Trump's new emissary to Capitol Hill,” which profiles Shahira Knight, President Trump’s pick to lead his legislative affairs office. Knight, the article reports, played a key role in developing last year’s tax law.
“People know Shahira as a quick study, whip smart on policy, and a source of prudent counsel,” said Dunn, a former aide to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. “Those virtues were on ready display throughout the tax-reform effort, and it is hard to imagine a skill set better suited for White House leg affairs.”
