On this episode of the Circuspreneur podcast, host Shenea Stiletto celebrates the fourth season of the podcast by interviewing Lobbyist Samantha Cadet. Samantha joined the University of Georgia Office of Government Relations in Washington DC, first as the Federal Government Relations Assistant and then as the Assistant Director of Federal Relations. Within these positions she worked closely with the Director of Federal Relations in executing the university priorities with the federal government and served as the university's liaison with Congress, federal departments, agencies, higher education associations, and advocacy groups. After 5 and a half years of lobbying for her alma mater she joined the Rape, Abuse, & Incest National Network as their Director of Federal Affairs, Appropriations, and National Coalitions for RAINN. She was solely responsible for RAINN's entire federal portfolio which included advocating for appropriations, creating legislation, and enhancing existing federal statues to address sexual exploitation and aid survivors. During this time, she worked with Congress, federal agencies, and the White House in addressing sexual violence, sexual harassment, and child sexual abuse and exploitation.

CSF Director of Federal Relations Taylor Schmitz joins Fred to talk about his role as the ‘federal affairs guru', his role as liaison to the Congressional caucus and how CSF impacts policy at the Federal level as one of the largest bipartisan, bicameral caucuses in the nation. The two dive into some recent wins including on archery and shooting programs in schools, the news Speaker of the House's relationship with CSF and sportsmen (hint, it's a good one!) and more.
