HillStaffer Adds Former Congressman and Wine Pioneer to Senior Team

WASHINGTON. D.C. – Innovative public policy and government affairs consulting firm HillStaffer
has named the Honorable George Radanovich, former eight-term Member of Congress and
entrepreneur, to its senior team.

“We are thrilled to welcome George, whose Congressional leadership, entrepreneurial vision,
and deep expertise in energy, agriculture, water and transportation make him an invaluable addition to
our firm,” said HillStaffer president Thomas Rosenfield. “Congressman Radanovich’s experience provides
HillStaffer clients with unparalleled expertise in navigating complex policy challenges across multiple
sectors, and his deep understanding of multi-level government relations enhances our expertise in
manufacturing & chemicals, agriculture, healthcare, and financial services – ensuring clients navigate
high-stakes, domestic and international geopolitical challenges with confidence.”

Mr. Radanovich brings several decades of distinguished public and private sector experience,
including national recognition for his leadership on critical policy issues while representing California’s
19th District, where he held key roles on the Energy and Commerce, Foreign Affairs and Budget
Committees and served as Subcommittee Chair for National Parks, Water and Power.

What sets Mr. Radanovich apart is his unique blend of policy expertise, strategic planning and
real-world business acumen. Prior to joining HillStaffer, he served as President of the California Fresh
Fruit Association, where he championed major water and labor initiatives for the San Joaquin Valley. His
entrepreneurial spirit shines through his founding of Radanovich Winery in 1986, pioneering winemaking
in Mariposa County and earning the distinction of being the first winemaker to serve in Congress since
Thomas Jefferson.

George added, “I’m excited to join HillStaffer and bring my experience in Congress and the
private sector to help clients navigate today’s complex policy landscape. Having served on key
committees and having built a business from the ground up, I understand both the legislative process
and real-world business challenges, and I look forward to working with HillStaffer’s diverse client base.”
