ABOUT US Bridget Morris Bridget started Morris Government Affairs in the fall of 2019 after a decade in the business. She was fortunate to learn the trade from some of the most seasoned professionals in Vermont politics. Prior to her lobbying career, her professional story included five years in the financial services and insurance industries. As a licensed investment advisor, she gained working knowledge of the financial markets, personal finance, group health insurance, captive insurance, and financial governance for endowments and foundations. She worked as an advisor at Morgan Stanley, and as an account lead at Hickok and Boardman in South Burlington, VT. Bridget is also a former U.S. Army Captain who served as an Executive Officer of an Air Defense Artillery Battery and as a Battalion Intelligence Officer. Her four years on active duty taught her how to maintain her cool in tough situations, work collaboratively and to focus on results. Bridget received her B.A. in Political Science from the University of Vermont in 2002 and her M.A. in International Relations and International Organization from the Royal University of Groningen (RUG) in the Netherlands in 2010. 802.922.4112 bmorris@vtlobbyists.com Jill Sudhoff-Guerin Jill has 11 years of experience working in Vermont health care policy and began her career as a legislative and regulatory analyst. Her policy focus over the last eight years has been in issues related to access to care, mental health, cancer prevention and tobacco control in both Montpelier and Congress. Jill is an advocacy campaign leader that excels at crafting legislative, administrative and regulatory solutions that result in positive policy outcomes. Her ability to foster strategic relationships has allowed her to achieve legislative, advocacy and membership goals. She has honed a communications methodology built on consistency, credibility and most importantly, listening. She brings her creativity to her work; in branding campaigns and organizational priorities, developing outreach methods with results, and designing marketing materials that inspire trust, develop allies and compel action. Jill is an avid trail runner and currently lives in Marshfield with her husband and two daughters, Amelia and Genevieve. She grew up in Central Vermont and obtained her Bachelor’s degree of Science from Smith College, where she studied Government and International Relations. 802.917.5817 jsguerin@vtlobbyists.com Gerard Morris Gerry's career in business, government, politics and strategic communications spans four decades. He started as a press aide to the late Mayor of Boston, Kevin H. White; moved up to become a senior policy adviser and press secretary to the late Massachusetts Governor, Edward J. King; and he was the New England press secretary for U.S. Senator John Glenn's 1984 Presidential Campaign. Prior to moving to Vermont in late 1986, he was the Vice President of the New England Council, the region's largest business lobbying group. For 30 years, Gerry has successfully promoted and protected the interests of his clients in the Executive branch, and in the Vermont State House, one of the most politically challenging environments in the country.
