Off the radar today. In the crosshairs tomorrow.

The 2026 midterms will reshape committee leadership, oversight priorities, and the political incentives driving congressional scrutiny — and companies that were safely off the radar in one Congress can find themselves squarely in the crosshairs of the next.

This post-election assessment of the new congressional landscape will map out the following:

• Which committees have new gavels

• Rising and falling issues in political salience

• Industries and business practices most likely to draw fresh oversight attention

What this session will cover:

• Which committees have shifted leadership, and what that means for their oversight agendas

• Which issues and industries are rising — or falling — in political salience after the midterms

• How to reassess existing investigation-readiness plans in light of the new political environment

• Updating messaging and stakeholder strategies for a changed Congress

• Where to focus limited compliance and government affairs resources as new committee agendas take shape

Walk away with:

• A clear picture of the new congressional landscape and where oversight risk is concentrated

• A practical framework for recalibrating your company's risk posture post-election

• Guidance on updating investigation-readiness plans for the incoming Congress

• Insight into how to prioritize compliance and government affairs resources under new committee agendas

____

Designed for legal and government affairs leaders who need to move from a "wait and see" posture to a proactive one before the new Congress sets its agenda.
