Government Relations

David Schaffer leads WPG's Government Relations activities.  A registered lobbyist, he brings unparalleled experience at advancing client interests.  With a superior network of connections gained through 26 years in the Federal Service, including two decades as Counsel to the House Aviation Subcommittee, Schaffer has the ability to form a powerful message and campaign, and to access key decision-makers.

Suzette Matthews brings two decades of experience representing aviation interests to Congress in her former capacity as Executive Vice President and General Counsel of the Air Traffic Control Association.

Karen Risa Robbins handled Government Relations during her tenure as CEO of American Technology Alliances, and as Director of Business and Strategy for UNITE (UAV National Industry Team).

“David Schaffer has earned an immeasurable amount of respect from everyone with whom he has worked, including Members of Congress, staff, and those in the transportation community.”
