States' First Environmental Council Director

Transportation Authorization Bills' Project Funding

Ted brought a solid Capitol Hill background to FaegreBD Consulting after spending 10 years as legislative director to a senior member of the House Appropriations Committee, where he was responsible for water resource development, transportation, community and economic development, and public safety project funding. On the Hill and at FaegreBD Consulting, Ted helped secure significant project funding in three key transportation authorization bills — ISTEA, TEA-21 and SAFETEA-LU.
