Twenty-plus years moving legislation, building coalitions, and translating policy risk into board-ready strategy — across federal lobbying, elected public office, statewide advocacy, and frontier policy technology.
A public-policy executive shaped by advocacy, elected governance, and a genuine fluency in the technology now reshaping how policy gets made.
Jarrett is a senior government affairs executive with more than two decades spanning federal lobbying, elected municipal leadership, statewide advocacy, and coalition building. He directs federal strategy across AI, housing, appropriations, and tax policy — anticipating regulatory developments before they become operational disruptions, and assembling the cross-stakeholder coalitions that actually move legislation.
He is native to Washington's policy ecosystem, with established relationships across both chambers of Congress, the administration, and the trade-association world. Having served as an elected official and led a statewide municipal association, he understands the machinery of governance from the inside — not just how to lobby it, but how to run it.
What sets him apart is range with depth: the strategic intellect to frame political risk as enterprise intelligence, the relational capital to be trusted in the room, and a working command of frontier AI tools deployed in real policy production. A senior leader built for government affairs functions where political risk directly shapes market access and competitive position.
"Translating policy complexity into decision-ready intelligence for executive, board, and partner audiences."
A complete government affairs practice — federal advocacy through elected leadership — each grounded in measurable results, not titles.
Direct lobbying strategy with Congressional offices and administration stakeholders — securing commitments from 45+ lawmakers across AI, housing, appropriations, and tax through 150+ lobby visits.
A rare practitioner of responsible AI in live policy work — building legislation-prediction models, AI-assisted briefing systems, and decision-support tooling few Capitol Hill professionals have actually deployed.
Deep substantive command of the spending and economic-policy arena — authoring legislative analyses, vote recommendations, and deep-dive research that inform offices and partner organizations.
Co-chairs a 25+ organization working group, aligning partners with partially overlapping interests around coordinated strategy — the direct corollary to corporate GR coalition management.
A decade as an elected City Council member governing a full-service municipality — directing a $30M budget, labor relations, and infrastructure investment from inside the political process.
Board reports, semiannual briefings, weekly policy updates, and executive presentations — plus Capitol Hill rallies and press strategy reaching millions of supporters.
Outcomes rare in federal advocacy reporting — quantified, sourced in real work, and relevant to enterprise government affairs.
