William L. Kovacs has been involved with the most complex policy issues in the nation for over four decades. He was a senior vice president at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, where he testified before Congress thirty-eight times, participated in several hundred federal rulemakings, and led numerous business coalitions on policies including regulatory reform, energy, environment, climate change, telecommunications, data quality, and government transparency.
During his service as chief counsel in the House of Representatives, he served as lead counsel on two landmark laws in one Congress: The Reorganization of the Penn Central Railroad into Conrail that preserved commerce in the U.S., and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the nation's first law regulating hazardous waste. In 2019 Kovacs received the Albert Nelson Marquis Lifetime Achievement Award by Marquis Who's Who.
His first book, "Reform the Kakistocracy: Rule by the Least Able and Least Principled Citizens," was awarded the 2021 Independent Press Award for Social/Political Change.
