Tai Ginsberg & Associates hires Gus Maples as director

Gus Maples has been hired by Tai Ginsberg & Associates, LLC (TG&A) to be the director of government affairs, where he will assist the firm with its transportation and infrastructure, municipal and technology clients.

Maples began with TG&A Dec. 16, 2019.

“We pride ourselves on working with clients on the cutting-edge of our industry,” said Matt Ginsberg, principal. “Mr. Maples’ experience will be a tremendous asset to our growing firm as we work to ensure continued successes for all of our clients.”

Most recently, Maples served as a professional staff member on the U.S. Senate Committee on Appropriations, overseeing more than $50 billion in budgetary resources and programs at the U.S. Department of Transportation. In this capacity, he advised Transportation-HUD Subcommittee Chair Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) on policy and funding issues, departmental rulemakings and grant programs administered by agencies, including the Federal Highway Administration, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

“We are excited to welcome Mr. Maples to our team,” said Jason Tai, principal. “His deep knowledge of transportation funding and appropriations will be an immediate asset to our diverse client base. He maintains strong bipartisan relationships on Capitol Hill, and we look forward to what he will bring to our team.”

Before Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS) hired Maples to the Senate Appropriations Committee staff, he worked at the Student Veterans of America organization.

Originally from Mississippi, Maples earned a degree in Public Policy Leadership from the Trent Lott Leadership Institute at the University of Mississippi.
