Lobbying firm Wilson & Associates LLC is reinforcing its governmental affairs team with the addition of state legislative and appropriations veteran Julie Fess.
Fess, with two decades of experience, joins the Tallahassee firm specializing in energy, infrastructure, construction, regulated industries and defense.
Hailing from the Orlando area, Fess offers longstanding political connections, serving in the offices of both former Florida House Speaker Dean Cannon and Senate Budget Chair and Majority Leader Locke Burt. As a senior legislative staffer, Fess developed extensive professional relationships in the environmental, gaming, and insurance industries.
“Julie is a highly respected political veteran who has intimate knowledge of the appropriations process and a valuable perspective on the inner-workings of the Florida Legislature,” said W&A President Robert Wilson. “We are thrilled to add her as a new talent to our team and amplify the services we offer to our new and existing clients.”
