Sec. 1. About

Jay Fields joined Williams & Jensen from the White House’s West Wing, where he served as Deputy Assistant to the President for Legislative Affairs and helped lead the White House’s congressional strategy and policy development. As the only senior White House official to have also served as senior staff to the current Speaker of the House, Jay stands out as one of the best-connected operatives in Washington.

During his tenure at the White House, Jay played a central role in advancing the Administration’s legislative agenda, including spearheading legislative efforts to enact the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA), a landmark achievement regarded as one of the most consequential pieces of legislation in modern history. He worked closely with senior White House leadership and policy officials across the Executive Branch — including the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, Domestic Policy Council, National Economic Council, National Security Council, and Office of Management and Budget — to shape legislative priorities, executive actions, and national policy initiatives.

Jay is one of the few who can pair high-level access with expert-level policy acumen. He puts this unique background to work helping organizations anticipate what Washington will do next and position themselves ahead of it.

On Jay’s departure from the White House, his former colleagues offered these commendations.

“Jay Fields came to this White House to work tirelessly toward executing President Trump’s agenda, and that’s exactly what he did. Jay has played a key role in nearly every legislative success of President Trump’s second term, including the historic One Big Beautiful Bill Act. While much of his work occurred behind the scenes, it was no less critical to achieving results for the President and the American people. While we are sad to see him leave the White House, he departs with the deep trust and respect of his colleagues. We thank him for his service and hope we can convince him to join us again one day in the future. He will be missed!”

Susie Wiles
White House Chief of Staff

“Jay Fields has been an indispensable player in President Trump’s White House, using his deep policy expertise and extensive network in the West Wing, the broader Executive Branch, and Capitol Hill, to develop, coordinate, and implement the President’s agenda — including playing a critical role in helping the Administration craft and pass the One Big Beautiful Bill, which stands out as one of the most consequential pieces of Republican legislation in American History. Jay’s wise counsel and locker room leadership will be missed. His new colleagues and clients are lucky to have him.”

James Blair
White House Deputy Chief of Staff

“It has been a genuine privilege to work alongside Jay Fields in President Trump’s White House. His deep understanding of White House operations, economic policy, and Congressional dynamics has made him a crucial voice in some of the White House’s most consequential decisions and a boon to the mission of the National Economic Council. The relationships he fostered, the long hours he worked, and the results he delivered will leave a lasting mark on this Administration. He leaves with our deep appreciation.”

Kevin Hassett
Director of the National Economic Council of the United States

“Jay’s extraordinary leadership, vision, and wisdom helped guide the Office of Legislative Affairs during some of the most complex and novel legislative configurations in decades, including the no-fail mission to pass the largest and most expansive piece of Republican legislation ever. He has been a critical strategist to the President’s legislative agenda, and is universally respected within the West Wing, larger executive branch apparatus, and on the Hill, with unmatched relationships forged under high-urgency and high-pressure conditions. He’ll be sorely missed, and I know his next chapter will be just as successful as his time in the White House.”
