The Welch Group reached the status of a top 25 lobby firm for Wisconsin in 2005, its first year in operation. Among individual lobbyists, Robert Welch ranks in the top ten. Since then the firm has continued to grow, adding web design, media buying, and international business development to its list of client services.

A graduate of MATC and Ripon College, Bob is a land-surveyor by profession, and served in the State legislature for twenty years. Bob was elected to the Wisconsin State Assembly in 1984, quickly rising to leadership positions. After ten years of service, Bob was elected to the State Senate in 1995, serving until 2004. The eventual sale of the surveying business allowed Bob and Jeanne to expand and diversify the services of The Welch Group. An active member of national political organizations, Bob has expertise in both national and international policy and business.
