Channon Hanna has been named a partner in the Washington, D.C., lobbying firm of Chambers, Conlon and Hartwell (CC&H) where she will work on various issues for the American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association and for CC&H's commuter rail and public transit clients.
“Channon is a highly skilled lobbyist with significant expertise on transportation policy,” said CC&H President Don Norden. “Our railroad, maritime, aviation and transit clients will be well served by her knowledge of the legislative process and the strong relationships she has built with Washington decision-makers for over a decade.”
Hanna was previously the director of Government Relations at Van Scoyoc Associates where she managed transportation and infrastructure issues for a large portfolio of transportation, municipal, corporate and trade association clients. She has also served as senior legislative representative for the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) and was legislative assistant to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation for more than five years.
CC&H Partner Katie Kachel who oversees CC&H’s public transit clients said, “Having worked with Channon for many years on a variety of public transportation issues, I know she is an accomplished legislative strategist that understands how to advance public policies that benefit a wide variety of transportation interests.”
