Andy will play a critical role further strengthening our relationship with Congress and the States.”
Mr. Black has 13 years’ experience working on Capitol Hill. Most recently, he served as Deputy Staff Director for the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee, a position in which he was involved in the policy, strategy and legislative operations for all activities of the Committee, chaired by Congressman Joe Barton of Texas. Prior to that, Mr. Black was Policy Coordinator for the Committee’s Subcommittee on Energy and Air Quality, in which he played a key role in the development of comprehensive energy legislation passed by the House, including the Energy Policy Act of 2005.
