In 2018, Ally joined CMT in a strategic role as Community Enhancement and Government Affairs Manager. She brings extensive experience to advocate on behalf of CMT and advise our clients, having served as a top policy advisor to a member of Congress. In that role, Ally worked for a member of Congress on the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee through the passage of the 2015 Highway Bill (FAST Act), two cycles of Water Resources Development Act reauthorizations, the Disaster Recovery Reform Act, and the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018. From that work, she brings a keen understanding of federal funding programs and grant applications, as well as policy and regulatory issues.
