Jeff Fitzgerald, Partner
Over several decades, Mr. Fitzgerald has built very strong relationships and connections local, state, and federal political spheres making him well positioned to help navigate the policy and political goals of our clients.
Mr. Fitzgerald comes to Paladin after serving twelve years in the Wisconsin State Legislature. During the most recent session, Mr. Fitzgerald served as Speaker—the body’s highest post. He has also served as Majority Leader and Assistant Majority Leader during his time in office. Through the leadership of Mr. Fitzgerald, the Assembly Republicans retook control of the Assembly in 2010 after losing the majority two years earlier. With over half of the Assembly caucus turning over in the last two election cycles, there is no one in the consulting world that has a stronger relationship with that caucus.
Savannah Sepic, Government Relations Executive
Savannah Sepic is a government relations executive with Paladin Consulting Group. Ms. Sepic is experienced in government relations with a demonstrated history of working in the political organization industry. Ms. Sepic is skilled in lobbying, management, organization, and advertising.
Ms. Sepic comes to Paladin after four years at the Minnesota Retailers Association where she was the government relations manager. Throughout her time with the Association, Ms. Sepic lobbied for members including Target, Kwik Trip, and single point independent retailers. Her work at the Capitol, with Association fundraisers and events allowed her to recruit and gain members for the Association.
Ms. Sepic also worked in Wisconsin politics running a field office for the 2018 elections as well as working on individual campaigns. She was able to build strong relationships with State Assembly members, State Senate members, State executive branch members, and US Congressmen on both sides of the aisle. Ms. Sepic also served at the Eau Claire Chamber of Commerce in their government affairs division.
Having Chamber of Commerce experience as well as Association experience will allow Ms. Sepic to build and lead coalitions to advance our clients’ positions. In addition, having that experience in Wisconsin prior to her transition to Minnesota is invaluable. Being so close to Wisconsin and lobbying for many multi-state retailers allowed Ms. Sepic to not only maintain and grow her Wisconsin relationships but also allowed her to learn the ins and outs of the Wisconsin Legislature. She will be an immediate asset to Paladin Consulting Group.
