[tps_title]Dax Swatek, Lobbyist, Swatek Azbell Howe & Ross[/tps_title]
Swatek is the top lobbyist at a firm with an ever-growing client list. He’s established himself as the Birmingham business community’s go-to governmental affairs pro. Clients hire him not only for his influence in the Statehouse, but also for strategic guidance on a wide range of issues.
Swatek is one of the few successful lobbyists in the state who cut his teeth running political campaigns first, including gubernatorial, legislative, congressional and even presidential races within the state. He led the small circle of strategists who crafted the GOP’s successful plan to seize control of the Legislature in 2010. He then immediately moved to capitalize on that success by launching a full-service governmental affairs shop with three of the state’s other top Republican consultants.
Because he was so instrumental in the current House and Senate Leadership’s rise to power, they often view him as not just a lobbyist, but as part of their team. That’s the kind of access you only garner by being around from day one.
