With nearly two decades of experience in government, political strategy, and government affairs, Nathan Halbach is widely recognized as a trusted expert at the intersection of policy, politics, and advocacy. His career began inside the Wisconsin Legislature, where he served two Senate Majority Leaders, a Senate Minority Leader, and clerked the Senate Natural Resources Committee—experience that gave him a deep, practical understanding of how decisions are made and how policy truly moves. Alongside his legislative work, Nathan played key roles in local County Board races and multiple State Senate campaigns, including the successful defense against a high-profile recall effort in Northern Wisconsin.
Nathan launched his lobbying career in 2013 at Whyte Hirschboeck Dudek (now Husch Blackwell), where he has represented a broad portfolio of clients ranging from Fortune 500 companies and national trade associations to tribal governments, statewide associations, and nonprofit organizations. Over the years, he has led efforts in political campaign management, public affairs strategy, public-policy reform, coalition building, regulatory and compliance guidance, procurement, and major economic-development initiatives. Known for his strategic mindset, bipartisan approach, and ability to navigate complex governmental environments, Nathan brings clarity, credibility, and measurable results to every client partnership.
A graduate of Purdue University with a degree in Communication and a concentration in Rhetorical Advocacy, Nathan pairs academic grounding with real-world political experience. He lives in Madison, Wisconsin with his wife and children, where he continues to apply his insight, relationships, and commitment to public service to help organizations move confidently through the political and policy landscape.
