On this episode, we’re joined by Patty Readinger, an alumna of the Political Management program at GSPM and a seasoned government affairs and policy professional with more than twenty years of experience in the legislative arena, primarily focused on policy analysis, issue development, and government relations. Patty spent more than a decade on Capitol Hill as a Senior Policy Advisor to Senator Debbie Stabenow, before serving in the Obama Administration as Deputy Assistant Secretary for Congressional Affairs at the Department of Transportation. She then took a brief break from government, when she led federal government affairs and public policy for Electrify America — a leader in electric vehicle charging — before ultimately returning to government service in a little bit different way in her current role, where she serves as the Director of Federal Affairs for the State of Michigan under Governor Gretchen Whitmer, and represents the state’s interests in Washington, DC.
