Lobby Land is pleased to welcome Sam Gammage. Sam is well known around the capitol after working in the Senate, the House, and a state agency before becoming a lobbyist.

Tune in to hear about Sam’s path from a psychology major to a lobbyist for the Texas Chemical Council, and all the pit stops in between. Sam tells us about being a "fly on the wall" as a Senate Messenger, and carrying car parts through the capitol for a House member. We also cover his love of the outdoors, fishing, and his impending fatherhood (Spoiler Alert, he is now a proud dad).
