Carolyn C. Channey

Carolyn C. Chaney, a co-founder of CapitalEdge, dedicated her entire 40-year career to representing the interests of individual local governments in Washington.

​

Carolyn boasted an extremely loyal client base, some of whom she represented for over 30 years.  During that time, she served as a trusted liaison between her clients and Congress and the Executive Branch, providing advocacy assistance and strategic advice on issues ranging from transportation, public safety, human services, the environment, and water resources matters such as flood control projects at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

Prior to founding CapitalEdge, Carolyn was a City Representative at the National Center for Municipal Development, the first, and for many years, the only organization providing federal advocacy and information services to local governments in Washington. She also served as a lobbyist for both the National League of Cities and the U.S. Conference of Mayors, specializing in the areas of community development and housing assistance.
