In addition to working in trade associations, Bray honed his policy, advocacy and political skills while working on Capitol Hill in a Congressional Office and while working on multiple federal, state and local campaigns. Bray earned his law degree in 2013 and maintains an active license to practice law in the state of Virginia. 

In this podcast, Bray reviews NALP’s legislative and regulatory initiatives at the federal and state level, including the process through which NALP navigated and supported the industry’s COVID-19 response.  Bray also offers insight regarding the new administration and the expected impact on the lawn and landscape industry.
