I have over twenty years' experience in public policy including over fifteen years as a lobbyist advocating for clients in multiple industries and subject areas. I have a track record of success, often against difficult odds.
15-20 years
I have a history of developing relationships with elected officials in both parties to help clients tell their story and accomplish their goals. I have worked in the Governor's office and have experience working with most state executive branch agencies.
I am the President of Goranson Consulting, Inc.; a lobbying firm advocating for clients spanning multiple industries; including: healthcare, education, conservation, industry associations, retail, and corporations.
I'm always volunteering with nonprofit and civic organizations and looking to make an impact for my clients and my community. In the past, I've served as a member of the State Board of Education (appointed by former Governor Terry Branstad and confirmed unanimously by the Iowa Senate), have had experience leading a statewide association and as a member of leadership teams at multiple central Iowa organizations. I've worked multiple public relations campaigns, and currently hold seats on two nonprofit boards.
