Peggy Tighe is a principal in Powers Pyles Sutter & Verville's legislative group. She deciphers and interprets highly complex healthcare matters and translates them into action. She teams up with health systems, patient groups, and provider organizations to develop persuasive policy arguments and strategies to influence Congress and relevant agencies, creating change to protect and support providers and the patients they serve.

Peggy focuses her practice on lobbying, coalition building, crafting and implementing grassroots campaigns, and coordinating media relations.

Peggy has spent her career understanding the complex policy problems faced by health systems, patient groups, and provider organizations, and influencing federal policy and decision-making on their behalf. Peggy's prior experience in healthcare lobbying and policy with two highly visible, national healthcare associations, the American Medical Association and the Health Insurance Association of America, as well as with dozens of national coalitions and individual clients, make her unique in this space.

Peggy has built and actively nurtures contacts and relationships on both sides of the political aisle, focusing her efforts on finding the right policy solution.
