John P. Flynn has more than 30 years of maritime, transportation and marine resource experience, including 12 years of practical experience on Capitol Hill.
Mr. Flynn joined Patton Boggs’ Public Policy Department through the firm’s 2010 acquisition of The Breaux Lott Leadership Group where he had served as vice president and senior vice president shortly after its formation in 2008.
Before joining The Breaux Lott Leadership Group, Mr. Flynn served as a government relations specialist for Jones Walker LLP (2005-2008), one of the Gulf South’s largest law firms, where he focused on maritime transportation, fisheries and other policy issues.
Mr. Flynn served as a legislative assistant and congressional fellow to U.S. Senator John Breaux (1998-2004). In this capacity, he functioned as Mr. Breaux’s primary advisor on maritime, marine resource and transportation issues and related policy development. During his tenure as a staff member in the senate, Mr. Flynn worked on a wide variety of maritime, transportation and ocean resource matters, including the Maritime Transportation Safety Act, Oceans Act, Aquatic Resources Trust Fund (Wallop-Breaux), Magnuson-Stevens Fisheries Conservation and Management Act and numerous Coast Guard authorization bills. He has served as U.S. delegate to the International Convention for the Conservation of Atlantic Tuna.
Mr. Flynn served in the U.S. Coast Guard, both as a commissioned officer and senior enlisted member, from 1978-2003, in increasingly responsible positions, principally in the marine safety program. On the occasion of his retirement from the Coast Guard, he held virtually all attainable marine safety and marine inspection qualifications. He is also a National Interagency Incident Command System (ICS) Instructor.
