I provide Preti Strategies' clients a wealth of experience in advocacy, policy development, politics, business and education. Prior to joining Preti Strategies, I served as president of the New Hampshire state Senate and previously held numerous leadership positions in both the Senate and House during my 10 years in the legislature. I offer our clients strategic and tactical advice based on first-hand experience navigating myriad policy and political considerations. My business background includes serving as Executive Director of the state's largest public employee health insurance risk pool and several start-up companies, one of which I led to a position on the Inc. 500 list of fastest growing companies in America. I also taught high school math for several years and served 18 years on my local school board, 12 of those years as chairman.
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.
0-5 years
Interceded on behalf of a client with a state agency to resolve compliance matters, working directly with the agency commissioner. In the next budget, successfully appealed the agency's insufficient 5% proposed daily rate increase for the provided services, which resulted in an increase of 37%.
Blocked a state agency's efforts to prevent a client's association members from continuing to conduct business in New Hampshire.
Opened up new opportunities for a renewable energy client by shepherding a bill we created for them through the legislative process to the governor's desk for signature.
As Senate president, I guided policy discussions and negotiations on all major policy issues, including renewable energy, insurance, business regulation and retirement system reform.
Led Senate efforts on budgets for four fiscal years, one of which erased a projected $800 million budget deficit without raising taxes or fees.
Led the Senate Republican Caucus to create policy agendas and then developed effective strategy and tactics that resulted in successful implementation of that agenda, even with a governor of the opposing party.
