To ensure continuity in our Federal legislation efforts, the American Kennel Club has entered into an agreement on an interim basis with William N. LaForge of Winstead PC to represent us in Washington, DC.

As associates at McGuiness Norris and Williams in DC, Bill and Dr James Holt worked closely together on several AKC issues and Bill’s former experience as Chief Counsel of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Agriculture and Chief Legislative Counsel and Chief of Staff to Senator Thad Cochran proved invaluable to us.

A registered lobbyist, Bill specializes in federal government relations, and represents businesses and other organizations with public policy interests before the US Congress and federal executive branch agencies.
