Veteran Florida lobbyist Doug Bruce is joining the Tallahassee office of the consulting firm of Colodny, Fass, Talenfeld, Karlinsky, Abate & Webb.
Previously, Bruce was a principal partner of Doug Bruce and Associates, where he developed a focus on public policy for transportation, education, environmental regulation and utilities, amongst others.
With expertise in legislative appropriations, Bruce was instrumental in securing nearly $1 billion in funding for client initiatives.
“If you want to win in Tallahassee, there’s no substitute for Doug’s brand of 360-degree insight and ability,” managing partner Mike Colodny said in a statement released today. “For an all-star linebacker like him to join our team says a lot about our Firm’s heavy-duty growth during the past decade.”
During his 30-year consulting career, Bruce worked with many of Tallahassee’s most respected organizations, providing client guidance on political campaigns and fundraising, alternatives to litigation, grant planning, legislative and political strategy.
Serving the Florida House of Representatives and Senate, Bruce held a number of prominent positions, including Vice President of Governmental Affairs for Associated Industries of Florida.
Bruce is eager to get started on his new job at Colodny.
“Colodny, Fass, Talenfeld, Karlinsky, Abate & Webb has earned and kept its place as one of Florida’s top lobbying powerhouses,” Bruce responded. “It’s proven to be a firm that’s big on substance and accountability.”
Bruce was a founding member of the Tallahassee PACE Center for Girls and is currently a Trustee of the Talquin Electric Cooperative, along with a long list of other civic and community accomplishments.
