VAN SCOYOC ASSOCIATES, INC. BIOGRAPHIES

Laura Morgan
Laura Morgan, a manager of government relations and lobbyist at Van Scoyoc Associates, finds her work now similar to what she did as a staff member in the U.S. Senate, but with one significant difference.

“Here, I can see when my work has an impact — helping a municipality improve its water system or build a road,” Ms. Morgan said. “At the Senate, we were trying to answer to over 35 million Californians. It’s a much larger scale, and while we knew that what we accomplished was important, I sometimes missed the chance to see our efforts turn into reality.”

Ms. Morgan, who joined Van Scoyoc Associates after serving in various staff roles for Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., uses her insider knowledge of the Senate to help clients negotiate the perplexing ways of Capitol Hill.

In particular, Ms. Morgan specializes in transportation, energy, and water issues, often helping local governments find solutions to specific problems or to satisfy growing needs. Her experience working with the 2005 Transportation Reauthorization bill and the Energy Policy Act of 2005 has proven to be invaluable.

While working at Van Scoyoc Associates, Ms. Morgan prepares proposals for potential clients, creates and organizes documents to be used in briefing congressional members and staff, and keeps track of legislative developments of interest to the firm and its clients.

Ms. Morgan experienced the full range of assignments while in Sen. Feinstein’s office, such as writing speeches, creating presentation documents, drafting constituent correspondence letters, covering committee meetings, writing daily reports for the Senator, and working with constituents to resolve a wide range of problems.

A graduate of Wake Forest University, in Winston-Salem, N.C., Ms. Morgan holds a bachelor of arts degree in political science, with a minor in sociology. She is proficient in Spanish and American Sign Language.
