Former Ways and Means Chair Brady Joins Akin

Former Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady (R-TX) has joined Akin as a senior policy consultant in Washington, D.C.

Mr Brady served in public office for more than three decades, including 26 years as the U.S. representative from Texas’s 8th congressional district, and on the U.S. House Committee on Ways and Means, serving as its Chairman from 2015–2019.

During his tenure in Congress, Chairman Brady served as the author and driving force in the development of the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA), which is set to expire at the end of 2025, as well as a key leader in the negotiation of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) to replace the North American Free Trade Agreement..

.“Chairman Brady’s tax, trade, healthcare and energy experience aligns perfectly with Akin’s practice,” said Brian Pomper, co-head of Akin’s lobbying & public policy practice. “With the novel USMCA review process starting in earnest next year and the need to navigate difficult trade issues like the Section 301 tariffs on China, Brady’s distinguished career at the forefront of shaping trade policy will bring unparalleled perspective and insight to our clients at a critical time."
