Our Food & Agriculture Team

Food and agriculture policy is sprawling, and the stakes are high. Farm bills, nutrition programs, trade agreements, climate legislation, and regulatory guidance from multiple agencies all converge on the same industries and communities. Getting results requires more than knowing the policy. It requires relationships built over years with the people who write, pass, and implement it.

Led by T.A. Hawks, this dynamic team brings experience from and deep relationships in:

  • Department of Agriculture
  • Key Congressional Committees
  • House and Senate Leadership
  • White House
  • Department of Transportation
  • U.S. Trade Representative
  • Environmental Protection Agency
  • Department of Homeland Security
