Our guest today, David Quam, has had a fascinating career. From his high-paced start as a young employee working on the Contract with America in the mid-1990s to founding his firm, 56 Capitals, two and a half decades later, there has been no shortage of excitement, long hours, and hard-won negotiations. In our conversation with David, we discuss his time in Washington, the crucial role that state and local government play in the American Federal System, and the power of relationships in politics. We also discuss the partnerships between Republican and Democratic representatives, how David has seen them put politics aside, and why the dedication of senators and other public servants continues to give him hope, despite our turbulent political landscape. David has a wealth of knowledge and the exposure of his career has facilitated a keen insight into the American political system. Tune in to hear all of David’s incisive observations on American legislation, politics, and the power of relationships!
