Hill transportation aide takes expressway to trucking group

Posted by Nate Hoffman on July 2, 2015

After seven years in Congress, a transportation policy adviser has switched gears for a government affairs position with a trucking trade association.

Andrew Stasiowski has been named the new director of government relations for the Truck Renting and Leasing Association after working for Rep. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) before she was elected to the Senate this year. The Alexandria, Va.-based association most recently advocated with Congress and the U.S. Department of Transportation on issues related to truck safety measurements, tax incentives for alternative fuels and insurance requirements reform.

The hiring of the Wellesley, Mass. native coincides as Congress is debating how to extend the Highway Trust Fund beyond the July 31 deadline.

Stasiowski started his Washington career as a staff assistant for the West Virginian in 2008. He climbed the ranks up to senior legislative assistant and covered transportation, commerce, financial services, tax, homeland security and emergency management issues for the congresswoman. He earned his BS in marketing from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
