    Program: Legislative Update and Looking Forward to 2019; What to Expect From Topeka

    Presenter: Natalie Bright, Bright and Carpenter Consulting, Inc.

    Bright has more than twenty years of experience lobbying on behalf of Kansas business and state associations at the state and federal levels.  Her expertise is in lobbying business issues, specifically in the areas of taxation, human resources, insurance, judicial reform and transportation.

    Bright has a joint degree in business administration and political science from the University of California-Riverside.  She received her law degree from Washburn School of Law in 1998 and began lobbying for the Kansas Chamber of Commerce and Industry during the 1998 Legislative Session.  In 1999, Bright left the Chamber to work as a contract lobbyist.  In 2008, Bright joined her law school classmate, Marlee Carpenter, and opened her current firm. 

    Bright is active in a variety of statewide business coalitions and has been part of several reform efforts including recent workers’ compensation, immigration, unemployment compensation and health care reform efforts. During her career, she has worked on several key pieces of legislation including the 2012 Workers Compensation Reforms, which passed unanimously and the most recent Kansas Unemployment Insurance Compensation Reforms. Bright is licensed to practice law in state of Kansas and resides in Shawnee, Kan. with her husband Kevin and four children.
