Study Group with Joe Mitchell: How Public Servants Run the Government

Behind the Scenes: How Public Servants Run the Government

Join Fellow Joe Mitchell and Guest Barry Jackson, now a strategic advisor for Brownstein, as they discuss the people behind the scenes who make government work. Jackson has worked across all levels of the federal government from serving as the Chief of Staff for Speaker Boehner to advising President Bush and running the House Republican Conference. Mitchell and Jackson will explore the differences between being an elected official and a career civil servant, both of which can lead to a meaningful career in public service.
