Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck welcomes Andrew Usyk to its Government Relations practice as a policy director. Based in the firm’s Washington, D.C., office, Usyk will focus on policy and regulatory changes on Capitol Hill and in the executive branch.
“Andrew is a veteran lobbyist who will add greatly to our bipartisan team,” said Marc Lampkin, Brownstein’s Government Relations Department chair.
Usyk works with legislative and executive branch powerbrokers to overcome policy and regulatory obstacles in the travel and lodging industries. His experience in Congress allows him to identify and execute the most effective strategies to recognize client pain points, and then collaborate with the appropriate stakeholders to find resolution.
Usyk served as a legislative assistant for Sen. Robert Casey (D-PA) and provided legislative guidance to Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) working as her grants director. He also assisted on Gillibrand ‘s 2010 reelection campaign. During his time in Congress, Usyk worked on bills related to appropriations, the budget, labor, small business and economic development.
Usyk received his bachelor’s degree from Syracuse University.
