THIS WEEK IN WASHINGTON
July 19, 2022
Welcome to this special Spotlight edition of This Week in Washington. Thank you for your interest in politics and policy from the Peach State to the Potomac.

We are pleased to bring you today a Total Spectrum Spotlight interview with Lisa B. Nelson, the Chief Executive Officer of ALEC, the American Legislative Exchange Council. ALEC is the largest non-partisan membership organization for state legislators and private sector representatives. Lisa is introduced by Arizona’s Senate President Karen Fann, ALEC’s current Chairperson.
 
ALEC’S 49th annual meeting will be in Atlanta on July 27, 28, and 29.
 
Congressman Erik Paulsen was Majority Leader of the Minnesota House of Representatives before being elected to Congress. He interviewed Lisa last week as she and her team prepare for their upcoming meeting.
 
Lisa has a wealth of experience as a political strategist and as a corporate executive. Both Lisa and Senator Fann are sending the clear message that Americans want solutions, and they are looking to the states for answers.
 
It’s absolutely true that what happens in state legislatures really matters. We are sure you will find Congressman Paulsen’s short interview with Lisa Nelson most informative and important.
 
We’ll return next week with the latest issue of This Week in Washington. Until then… stay safe, healthy, AND sane.
