SL Strategies has recruited Mary Moody Johnson, who was health policy director for Sen. Bill Cassidy, as senior VP, effective Aug. 1.
Cassidy (R-LA) is the ranking member on the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions.
Moody Johnson worked on the passing of the bipartisan No Surprises Act, a law to end surprise medical billing, and legislation advancing mental health care access.
She negotiated full committee mark-up of more than 20 health bills on topics such as commercial market payment reform, policies to bring generic drugs to market more quickly, substance use disorder and addiction treatment.
In a July 8 speech on the Senate floor, Cassidy said Moody Johnson "played an incredible role in the success of my office, in lowering the cost of health care, and serving the Americans we represent.”
Sara Love Rawlings, managing partner and founder of SL Strategies, said her firm is thrilled Moody Johnson "will bring her passion and knowledge to our team as we work to decode policy for our clients and inspire policymakers to improve lives.”
