John Buhl
Communications Director
Taxes impact everyday life in ways most people don’t realize. The Tax Policy Center helps policymakers and the public understand those interactions. Broadening the reach of its nonpartisan research to as large an audience as possible can empower lawmakers to enact better policies and educate the media and public on why those decisions are important.
