Red Door Consulting
wHO wE aRE
The people who actually know how to win, keep promises, and shape a policy revolution—both in Washington and state capitols—are a very small group.
We're in it.
It's pretty simple: We operate with total integrity. We work hard and just get *it done. We are true-believers, now and always. And we are, at our core, forward-deployed nerds. That means we know how to write sub-regulatory guidance documents. But we also speak normal American English.
Most importantly, we put policymakers first every day--the folks in the arena taking bullets--and do not take credit.
And they know it. For our clients, that is a secret weapon.
But, since you're here, we'll take this one opportunity to tell you. Between us, we have:
-
Led the drafting of 25 Executive Orders in the Trump 47 White House and managed the implementation of 87 Executive Orders across every federal department
-
Drafted and passed hundreds of landmark reforms in 35 states
-
Led state agencies through crises, from budget shortfalls and system failures to PR scandals and outbreaks
-
Written and ghostwritten dozens of high-impact opinion pieces, from The Wall Street Journal to The New York Times
-
Won dozens of lawsuits in Federal and state courts
-
Testified as experts in Congress and 26 state capitols across America
-
Trained and deployed hundreds of aligned policy leaders across America
-
Written and prepped dozens of prime-time speeches before national audiences
-
Earned multiple decorations for outstanding military leadership and achievements
And we're not done yet.

the red door
One more thing for those wondering: why 'Red Door'?
First, this is not a bipartisan firm. We are conservatives. And we're not shy about that.
Second, for thousands of years, red doors have had special meaning. In the Old Testament, they signified protection and God's covenant with the Israelites. In medieval Europe, they meant that the property's owner had paid all their debts. In revolutionary America and during the Civil War, a red door signaled refuge and safe harbor, often at great risk to the property owner.
Each example provides values which remain, at our best, fundamental to Western civilization and who we are.
“A time may come soon when none will return. Then there will be need of valour without renown, for none shall remember the deeds that are done in the last defence of your homes. Yet the deeds will not be less valiant because they are unpraised."
J.R.R. Tolkien
