NAWG Hires New Government Relations Representative

Washington, D.C. (June 26, 2023) – Today, NAWG welcomes Jack Long as the new Government Relations Representative. Long is a recent graduate from Oklahoma State University, where he received a Master’s in Agribusiness. Long is originally from Cole Camp, MO, and comes from a multigenerational farming operation. His upbringing in the agriculture industry has given him a deep-rooted passion for the industry and for the individuals who are a necessary part of it. He has worked for Cornerstone Government Affairs and the Oklahoma State Senate, which provided him with a fundamental understanding of policy and current issues within the wheat industry.

“We are excited to welcome Jack Long to our team as the new Government Relations Representative at NAWG,” said NAWG CEO, Chandler Goule. “We look forward to seeing his positive impact as he builds strong relationships and navigates the world of government relations on behalf of NAWG.”

Jack will play an important role in advocating for wheat growers on the Hill.

“I’m very excited for the opportunity to get started with the National Association of Wheat Growers,” said Jack Long “I have worked alongside wheat growers all throughout my education and look forward to being an advocate for the wheat industry.”
