Christy served as Staff Director for the Senate Environment and Public Works Subcommittee on Fisheries, Wildlife, and Water. In that role, she managed federal agency oversight and negotiated high-stakes statutory language across party lines.
Later, as Chief Conservation Officer for the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership and Senior Policy Adviser at The Nature Conservancy, she directed multi-million-dollar federal legislative campaigns across sporting, ranching, and outdoor industry partners.
Statutory victories across farm titles and federal waters
Her legislative career includes drafting and negotiating comprehensive provisions within multiple Farm Bill Conservation Titles, expanding voluntary landowner incentives across millions of private working acres nationwide. These measures established permanent regional baselines for soil health and upland habitat resilience.
In federal water resources and wildlife finance, she coordinated bipartisan Senate and House coalitions that secured historic authorizations for fish passage, wetland restoration, and public recreation access. Her work routinely united competitive commercial users and environmental managers into unified policy voting blocs.
Legislative durability is never accidental. It demands deep institutional memory, technical precision in statutory mechanics, and bipartisan relationships that outlive congressional election cycles.
