A lobbyist and political strategist with seventeen years of experience, Tylynn has a distinguished career that ranges from political campaigns to strategic grassroots advocacy. Tylynn has the unique ability to manage many moving pieces in order to achieve federal legislative victories. As Vice President of M & R Strategic Services from 2001 to 2004, Tylynn specialized in coalition building, field advocacy campaigns and media strategy. Most recently, Tylynn served as Deputy State Auditor of Montana, where she developed legislative strategy and guided the passage of 21 pieces of key legislation. She helped pass landmark health care insurance legislation for the state, and managed a staff of 70 employees. Tylynn has served in a variety of political positions, on the campaigns of U.S. Senator Max Baucus of Montana, Governor Ben Nelson of Nebraska, Governor Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas, U.S. Senator Tom Daschle of South Dakota, and U.S. Senator Bob Kerrey of Nebraska. Well into young-adulthood, first in South Dakota and later in Arizona, Tylynn trained, rode -- and, yes, broke -- Arabian show horses. So, managing campaigns and negotiating cumbersome political issues just seemed like the next logical career move. Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, AZ -- BA Political Science
