Stanton to Lead NAHB Legislative and Political Operations

Joseph Stanton is NAHB’s new senior staff vice president for legislative and political relations. In that role, Stanton will serve as the lead Capitol Hill lobbyist and manager of the association’s legislative and political operations.

Stanton, a former NAHB employee with more than 15 years of government relations experience at the local, state and federal levels, returns to the home builders after serving as the vice president for government relations at the Beer Institute in Washington, where he lobbied on behalf of the American brewing industry on a wide range of regulatory and legislative issues. Prior to joining the Beer Institute, he was a principal partner in the consulting firm Legislative Strategies Group from 1998 to 2000.

Stanton has several years of legislative experience working on Capitol Hill, including his tenure as a legislative manager in the office of the Doorkeeper of the U.S. House of Representatives.

Stanton worked for the home builders from 1986 to 1990, serving as a senior congressional representative in the former Government Affairs Division of NAHB. He left the association to become director of congressional relations for the Public Securities Association (now the Bond Market Association), where he helped to coordinate issues for member groups that trade, underwrite or sell municipal, mortgage and U.S. government securities.
