ABOUT ANDREW N. PRUITT
I’ve been in the room for 400+ Member-level meetings—Senators and Representatives—alongside the Chief of the National Guard Bureau (a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff), turning complex policy and budget issues into clear, defensible asks and follow-through. I bridge the Executive and Congress on national security, appropriations, and budget strategy; I’ve run day-to-day operations for the Guard’s legislative offices in Longworth (House) and Russell (Senate), and prepped ten Appropriations hearings plus two Senate confirmations.Air Force veteran (clearance). Fluent in PPBE and the Presidential Budget. Earlier at Cambridge’s Energy Policy Research Group/Energy Policy Forum, I worked with European regulators, ministries, and industry on market design and security-of-supply—experience I now apply to energy security on the Hill.Focus: National Security • Domestic Response • Appropriations • Budget Strategy • Energy Security • Interagency Coordination • Congressional StrategyAir Force veteran (clearance).
