Brings broad experience from Capitol
Hill
WASHINGTON, May 9, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Tracy Tolk has
joined Crowell & Moring, bringing more than two decades of
government affairs experience as an energy policy lobbyist and
congressional staffer.
Tolk advises clean energy, transportation, technology, and
agriculture companies on public policy matters before Congress and
federal agencies. She joins Crowell as a senior policy director in
the firm's Government Affairs Group.
"Tracy is a connector and a forceful advocate for clients on
important public policy matters in the energy and transportation
arenas," said Aaron C. Cummings,
co-chair of the firm's Government Affairs Group and former chief of
staff to Sen. Chuck Grassley
(R-Iowa). "Clients will benefit
from Tracy's experience because of her bipartisan relationships on
the Hill and her work with various federal agencies. She knows how
the levers of Washington
work."
Prior to joining the firm, Tolk was a principal at Van Ness
Feldman LLP, a law and government relations firm. Her congressional
experience includes serving as a senior advisor to both former Rep.
Jay Inslee (D-Wash.), now the
Governor of Washington, and former
Rep. Jim Davis (D-Fla.) when they
served on the U.S. House Committee on Energy and Commerce. For
Inslee, Tolk also managed matters before the U.S. House Committee
on Natural Resources, as well as the Select Committee on Energy
Independence and Global Warming. Tolk oversaw energy, environment,
and transportation policy issues and developed strategies to
successfully execute the passage of legislation.
"Energy policy is critical to America's future and Tracy is a
leader who can help guide clients in this rapidly evolving space,"
said James "Jim" Flood, co-chair of the firm's Government Affairs
Group and former counsel to Sen. Charles E.
Schumer (D-N.Y.).
"Crowell & Moring has a strong, bipartisan government
affairs and regulatory practice and it is an ideal platform for my
clients," said Tolk. "I'm excited to draw on my energy industry,
congressional, and federal agency experience to help clients
navigate the energy transition and advance their most important
objectives."
Tolk is also an adjunct professor with the George Washington University Graduate School of
Political Management's Legislative Affairs Program.
