Many people specialize in dealing with the media, understanding politics, or navigating the legal system. Lanny is unique in his mastery of all three.

He’s one of America ‘s most skilled and experienced advisors, and the fact that he has so many friends on both sides of the aisle is a testament to his fair-minded approach to problem solving and his remarkable record of success.

Congratulations to Lanny on the publication of Crisis Tales, and best wishes to all for an enjoyable evening.
