From Concord intern to Concord insider, I've spent my whole career fostering relationships within New Hampshire's Legislature, Executive Branch, and the Republican political apparatus. I have a reputation for providing clear, effective guidance to corporations, nonprofits, & trade associations. I've successfully developed and executed legislative strategies, public affairs campaigns, political campaigns, grassroots & grass tops lobbying, and procurement efforts on behalf of a wide range of clients. I'm proficient in the legislative process and have delivered victories for clients in an array of industries - healthcare, energy, gaming, commerce, criminal justice, tobacco, transportation, and agriculture
Through my experience and my network, I help my clients and their message be in the right place, at the right time, with the right audience.
Our entire Preti Strategies team is made up of government "insiders" who have served many years as elected or administration officials or senior level advisors. Together, we have extensive knowledge and an extensive network of connections. We've spent our careers in government and public affairs, and we love putting our experience to work for our clients to help shape policy and advance important business interests.
6-10 years
Built a proven record of winning tough floor fights in New Hampshire's 400-member House of Representatives on a myriad of issues.
I've stopped harmful committee recommendations, overturned committee votes, adopted emergency floor amendments, used creative solutions to stop legislation from advancing, and scripted floor fights and debates for members.
Passed the region's most aggressive biodiesel production credit into law and guided the state's largest biodiesel producer through the entirety of the process from drafting to rulemaking. I then advocated for loosening of regulations on the use of biodiesel by large energy consumers and the state government to further increase the client's potential revenues.
As a freshman lobbyist, I was named "Rookie of the Year" by my colleagues.
I worked with a coalition of healthcare providers and lobbyists to stop a workers' compensation fee schedule. Our efforts successfully overturned the House Labor committee's recommendation on the House floor to pass the coalition's desired floor amendment which was signed into law. The client's amendment has since lowered worker's compensation costs by ~10% and did so without a fee schedule.
I have guided clients through successful issue advocacy campaigns during the First in the Nation primary. Deliverables involved getting Presidential candidates on the record, one-on-one meetings with candidates or senior level staff, grassroots organizing, event planning, press opportunities, and earned media for the client.
Served as the State Director to the New Hampshire Energy Forum where I provided grass tops lobbying and communications consulting to one of the nation's largest energy trade associations; I was instrumental in successfully changing Federal laws and Executive guidelines surrounding ozone and air quality regulations, energy exports, and energy infrastructure.
Provided strategic communications consulting for state legislators and stakeholders to lobby New Hampshire's Federal delegation to change mandates in the Affordable Care Act on behalf of a coalition of insurance providers. Our coalition was victorious in these efforts.
I've worked as a political & fundraising consultant to numerous State Senators, Executive Councilors, State Representatives, and County officials.
