Jodie Curtis

Jodie Curtis crafts and executes the strategies clients need to move the needle in Washington, DC. A former senior staffer on Capitol Hill and manager of a national association’s federal government relations program, Jodie has firsthand experience on both sides of the government advocacy table. She knows that relationships built on mutual trust are vital to advancing regulatory, legislative, and public policy goals, and she helps clients build the recognition and credibility required to develop and sustain lasting, productive connections with legislators and federal regulators.

Jodie is highly skilled in strategic planning and crafting smart tactics that help clients meet their public policy goals while fostering relationships with members of Congress and their staff. She creates government relations strategies rooted in an in-depth understanding of federal government processes and priorities. She is adept at working the federal appropriations and authorization processes to advance client policy and funding goals, and she helps clients build coalitions to amplify their message. She has planned and executed Capitol Hill advocacy days for hundreds of participants and has organized successful, innovative grassroots campaigns. Jodie also works behind the scenes to align client public policy goals with organization priorities and trains clients on how to be effective advocates at the local, state, and federal levels. Jodie works with clients across industries and policy areas, including health and life sciences, digital health, global health, agriculture, manufacturing, trade, transportation, insurance, and environmental matters.
