Jeff Kramer is a public affairs consultant with extensive policy, legislative and regulatory experience. He has a strong ability to translate complex issues into easily understood and actionable causes and can manage the often-conflicting views of draft legislation and proposed regulation from the consumer and the business sides.

Over the years, first at AARP and then at Verizon, he has a proven track record of success in working with national legislative and regulatory bodies to help mold public policy to embrace the interests of business while recognizing the needs of the underserved. As examples, he led the coordination of an effort to draft legislation that led to the passage of the Communications and Video Accessibility Act (CVAA) which among other things required access to closed captions and user guides for television for the blind. Additionally, during his tenure at AARP, he spearheaded the successful effort to create the FTC’s Do Not Call Registry guiding it from concept to reality as he shepherded it through the FTC, FCC and ultimately Congress. He also served as a U.S. Non-Governmental Observer (NGO) at the United Nations and at the Earth Summit during Global Climate Treaty negotiations while a lobbyist for the Edison Electric Institute. He began his Washington, D.C. career in the Political Affairs office of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

A graduate of the University of Virginia, Jeff received his J.D. from the Antonin Scalia School of Law at George Mason University.
