About
Principal-Led Engagement
As Founder & Principal of JD Key Consulting, I bring over 20 years of regulated industries expertise combined with unprecedented political leadership experience.
Unlike large lobbying firms, every client works directly with me—a former state party chairman with deep relationships in Texas government. This boutique model delivers intellectual rigor, political infrastructure knowledge, and cost efficiency.
My perspective is shaped by direct regulatory service, including on the Interstate Oil & Gas Compact Commission's Legal & Regulatory Affairs Committee and a public water and wastewater improvement district board—giving clients an insider's understanding of how regulatory bodies operate and make decisions.
“Deep expertise in government affairs—truly beneficial for navigating complex policy issues.”
