Julie Vande Hoef

As Director of Government Affairs, Julie works to advance the interests of PolicyWorks' clients by providing them counsel on both federal and state policy matters, organizing grassroots assistance, and actively lobbying lawmakers. Prior to joining PolicyWorks, Julie spent three years working in Congress for Representative Jim Leach.

As a Legislative Assistant for this senior Member of Congress, she advised him on issues related to agriculture, trade, appropriations, federal employees, postal matters and steel industry issues. While working for Congressman Leach, Julie represented the U.S. Government on investigations related to the Canadian beef industry (shortly after the first U.S. outbreak of mad cow disease) and also worked with the European community on climate change issues in Brussels, Belgium.

Julie is a native Iowan, who graduated from Luther College in Decorah, Iowa and received her graduate degree, as a civilian, from the Department of Defense while living in Washington, D.C.
