MEET THE NEW TEAM MEMBERS
Adam Grogg, former Deputy General Counsel at the Office of Management and Budget, joins as GFI’s first Legal Director and will oversee GFI’s legal work, including its preparation of legal primers, and regulatory comment practice.

She has previously worked as Deputy Legal Counsel in the Colorado Governor’s Office and as an attorney in the Colorado Office of the Attorney General, and has a background in electoral politics at the state and national levels.
“We could not be more excited that Adam, John, and Elisabeth have joined us,” said Executive Director Rachael Klarman. “With our newly expanded team, GFI will use our deep familiarity with how agencies work and the rulemaking process to fight back against executive overreach.”
