Brian focuses on labor, postal, retirement, media, and health policy lobbying and helps clients navigate and manage their PACs. During his tenure, Brian has worked within labor coalitions to secure key bipartisan support for the Social Security Fairness Act and to build bipartisan opposition to legislation that would have made historic cuts to the earned benefits of federal workers.

As a consumer advocate at the National Consumers League, he lobbied to incorporate common-sense consumer protections before numerous state legislatures and several federal agencies. During his tenure, he led the effort to create a model bill to protect consumers from deceptive automatically renewing contracts and successfully advocated for the bill to be signed into law in the District of Columbia. In 2026, Brian was elected to serve on the board of the National Consumers League, a position he uses to continue the fight on behalf of consumers.
