Carl Filler is a public health policy leader and Chief of Staff at the DC Department of Health with eight years of focused experience shaping legislative and agency strategies to improve population health and reduce inequities. He has a decade-long track record of building bipartisan relationships with legislators, community groups, and partners to secure policy wins across criminal justice, education, and social determinants of health. Previously he led government relations for DC Health and drove city- and state-level initiatives in St. Louis on youth violence prevention, sexual and reproductive health, and chronic disease. Trained as a social worker with research and evaluation roots, Carl blends data-driven program evaluation (SPSS/STATA) with hands-on policy advocacy to translate evidence into actionable law and practice. He also brings a technical curiosity—self-taught Java and Python interests and a sustained focus on criminal justice reform—that informs his analytical approach to policy solutions. Based in Washington, DC, he is known for turning complex stakeholder landscapes into clear, implementable strategies.
