Joshua H. Raymond
Josh previously served as executive counsel of government affairs for General Electric (GE). In this role, he supervised the company's responses to Dodd-Frank Act legislative and regulatory challenges, and helped enact the first statutory language of its kind, allowing an industrial company to own a finance company. This development enabled GE to continue its ownership of GE Capital. Josh later steered GE Capital through its designation and eventual de-designation as the United States' first-ever Systemically Important Financial Institution (SIFI). He secured several favorable rulings regarding first-impression regulatory issues, and launched several large-scale legislative and public affairs initiatives.
Before joining GE, Josh served as chief of staff to then-Representative and current Senator Christopher S. Murphy (D-CT) from 2007 to 2009. In this capacity, he hired and supervised more than 20 legislative, communications, and district staffers, and built a reelection campaign that resulted in a landslide victory.
Josh began his career as a policy and budget analyst with the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) before moving to Capitol Hill. He eventually became a staff member to Representative and House Banking Committee member Darlene Hooley (D-OR) during the passage of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA).
