ERIN TAYLOR has more than twenty years of experience working in the public policy arena at the federal, state and local level.

Prior to forming Taylor Strategies & Consulting in 2014, Taylor served as the Executive Director of the Wyoming Taxpayers Association for eight years. During that time, she successfully advocated for legislation and programs that enhanced businesses throughout the state, based on the view that all businesses should be fairly taxed. She garnered the respect of state and local elected officials with her analytic and unbiased reporting of tax policy.

She was instrumental in educating policy makers on the implications of tax policy and experienced many successes in the legislative area, including increasing Wyoming's fuel tax, passing a sales and use tax vendor allowance, implementing special district transparency, formulating property tax relief programs, among others.

After the association, Taylor served as statewide campaign manager for US Senator Mike Enzi for the 2014 primary election where she spearheaded a comprehensive county-by-county issue based campaign, and oversaw all aspects of the day-to-day operations, which yielded the Senator his highest win percentage in that office.

Aside from tax policy, building coalitions and managing communications, Taylor also carries years of experience with regulatory issues, both at the national and state level. She served as Wyoming Government Affairs Representative with PacifiCorp (now Rocky Mountain Power), and in Washington DC forming electric transmission pricing policy with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission through the Edison Electric Institute and the Electric Power Supply Association, and finally, managing regulatory affairs for Montana-Dakota Utilities, Co, in Bismarck, ND.

Taylor earned an undergraduate in economics and also her master of science in regulatory and environmental economics from the University of Wyoming. She is also active in her community through Cheyenne Rotary and a number of local service organizations.
