The Propeller Club, Port of Washington, DC is pleased to welcome Cary Davis as a new board member. Cary serves as General Counsel & Director of Government Relations for the American Association of Port Authorities. Cary helps tell the story of American seaports when the President and Congress make decisions on trade, security, transportation, and infrastructure.

Cary has discussed maritime trade and security in the New York Times, the BBC, Politico, and Bloomberg News. He has written legislation on international commerce, foreign relations, and climate change infrastructure, which has passed the House of Representatives unanimously and which was featured as the top headline on The Drudge Report. He has written bills featured on CNN, Newsweek, Breitbart, and Zero Hedge and which were the world’s top-searched Congressional legislation.
Cary served as a senior Presidential appointee at the International Trade Administration at the U.S. Department of Commerce. There he worked with American businesses and workers to increase U.S. exports, protect strategic supply chains, and combat unfair trade. When working in Congress, Cary served as Legislative Director and General Counsel for Congressman Dan Donovan from New York City, Chairman of a Homeland Security subcommittee.
Before Federal service, Cary was a litigator and trial attorney at the law firm of Reed Smith, where he represented Uber during its ‘blitzscale’ phase.
