Coordinate with University partners in state, federal, and community relations to align policy positions, messaging, and strategies across levels of government.
Provide responsive legislative session support, including bill tracking, rapid policy research, fiscal analysis, communication drafting, and issue escalation during peak workload periods.
Prepare briefing materials and talking points for UW Medicine leaders participating in legislative, agency, association, and external stakeholder meetings.
