COP on the Hill

Stories from the weeks of June 14 & 21, 2019

Week of the 14th was a vacation week.

This comment from a lobbyist I ran into this week by chance.

That’s where I ran into you for the first time at the NRA Convention in Indianapolis 5 years ago……You seemed like a bizarre aberration in that crowd. I had to stop you and have a chat. We got to know each others point of views and it all made sense. Keep up the good work Howard.
