Washington insider Charlie Cook to address CRN annual meeting

WASHINGTON — The Council for Responsible Nutrition on Monday announced that the ultimate Washington insider, Charlie Cook, editor and publisher of the Cook Political Report and columnist for the National Journal, will share his political perspectives with attendees of The Conference: CRN’s Annual Symposium for the Dietary Supplement Industry in October.



“They say everyone’s got an opinion, but Charlie Cook has years of accurate political analysis and a non-partisan commentary style that genuinely enhances the public’s understanding of politics,” stated Steve Mister, president and CEO of CRN. “We’re pleased to have Mr. Cook with us at The Conference to discuss how the elections and current political landscape may influence the business world.”



Cook has a longstanding reputation as a trustworthy and accurate voice on politics in Washington, spanning more than two decades. He writes weekly for the National Journal magazine and National Journal Daily and also writes regularly for a column in the Washington Quarterly. Cook has been dubbed “the Picasso of election analysis” by the Wall Street Journal and “perhaps the best non-partisan tracker of Congressional races,” by David Broder of the Washington Post.



The Conference will be held Oct. 26–29 at the Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel, in Dana Point, Calif.
