Bennett Johnson (LA.) and Joseph R. Biden (DE.). After leaving the Senate, he went to work in the administration of Virginia Governor Gerald L. Baliles. The Baliles administration was nationally known for a commitment to transportation infrastructure.

Prior to joining ACI-NA, Principato was a Trade and Transportation Specialist for the Law Firm of Hunton & Williams, where he worked on a wide variety of issues including the negotiation of international air service agreements and alliances and the development of a new global standard for aircraft noise.
