Who works with congress and interest groups to get bills passed?

To the average person, the process of getting a bill through Congress may seem highly complex and technical. Actually, the process itself is fairly simple.  What can be confusing to the layperson is (1) the volume of legislation pending before Congress and (2) the system Congress has for distributing its work. It is true that Congress handles a great deal of legislation each year.  But only a handful of bills will be of particular interest to AACOM.  

As long as you keep your sights on the legislation that affects you and AACOM, you should have no trouble following the progress of those bills. And once you familiarize yourself with the key committees responsible for handling your issues, following the progress of legislation will become much easier.
