Bridget Krieger

Bridget Krieger is a trusted advocate on Capitol Hill and a champion for federal research agencies, most notably the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the National Science Foundation (NSF). Having worked for two decades representing the interests of research and higher education entities, Bridget designs and implements federal and congressional strategies that attain short-term wins while solidifying the foundation for long-term success.    

Bridget covers a diverse range of issues and leads Lewis-Burke’s growing agricultural portfolio. Whether navigating the highly political Farm Bill and agriculture appropriations processes, Bridget ensures dynamic strategies with multiple paths for success, avoiding a single point of failure. Examples of past and current efforts include protecting vital life science programming, growing support for natural disaster mitigation, raising the profile of chronically underfunded disciplines, and securing funding for large-scale projects through the federal budgeting and congressional appropriations processes. 

Issue Areas: agriculture, appropriations, farm bill, basic life sciences, natural disasters.

Additional Experience: Bridget gained government relations experience in the private and public arenas through appointments with former Congressman Dennis Moore of Kansas, Labour Party Headquarters in London, and Tulane University in New Orleans, LA.   

Vital Statistics: Born and raised in Kansas City, Bridget is a proud alum of Tulane University where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. When not discussing the importance of agricultural research and Cooperative Extension, Bridget can be found watching her KC teams at home with her husband and two kids.
