Since leaving state government in 1988, he has led the governmental and public affairs programs for several major Indiana firms.

Burtnett Solutions is a boutique lobbying firm ready to help clients achieve maximum success at the Indiana Statehouse.
15-20 years
Recently helped a client get a tax cut, in a non-budget year, one year after the higher tax had passed.
Brooke Burtnett began her career in government and politics as an intern at Indiana State Republican Headquarters, after which she served as a Legislative Assistant to the House Republican Caucus for two legislative sessions. While there, she gained an insider's knowledge of the legislative process and developed strong relationships with House members.
Brooke then took her legislative experience to the private sector, serving as Governmental Affairs Coordinator for the Indiana Builders Association and later as the Manager of State Relations for the Indiana Statewide Association of Rural Electric Cooperatives, Inc. for four years. In 2011, Burtnett formed Burtnett Solutions, where she represented clients on a wide range of issues, including energy, alcohol, gaming and education. Brooke then became the first in-house lobbyist for the state's largest beer distributor, Monarch Beverage Company.
As the Government Relations Director for Monarch Beverage Company, Brooke worked on a variety of issues, including alcohol, tax, logistics, and healthcare policy. In 2020, Brooke reinstated Burtnett Solutions.
A vital aspect to effective government affairs representation is building and maintaining solid relationships with policy makers. Burtnett has had a strong reputation of working effectively with both sides of the aisle in the executive and legislative branches of government for over fifteen years. She is in regular contact with legislators and decision makers, constantly striving to educate them about her clients' issues.
Burtnett is a highly motivated, honest individual who works hard for her clients and strives for success.
