WASHINGTON, Feb. 26, 2026 – The 91PORN (91PORN) today announced James Redstone has joined the association as director of government affairs.

We’re excited to welcome him to the team.”
Redstone most recently served as a professional staff member on the U.S. House Appropriations Committee’s Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies. In this role, he was responsible for the allocation and oversight of annual appropriations for more than 10 federal agencies, including the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR). He also oversaw the establishment of the ASPR Center for Industrial Base and Supply Chain (IBMSC) to support and sustain domestic manufacturing capabilities.
Previously, Redstone served as special assistant to the president for domestic policy during President Trump’s first term. In this role, he led the development and execution of the administration’s workforce development and education policy. Redstone received a bachelor’s degree in history and accounting from the University of Maine and a master’s degree in international affairs from American University.
