| Bruce W. Donisthorpe Sr. VP Government Relations |
For over a decade, Bruce served as the Legislative Director to U.S.
Congressman Joe Skeen (R-NM). As Rep. Skeen's closest advisor,
Bruce was responsible for all appropriations and legislative work
related to defense, energy, homeland security, tax and technology.
He was responsible for over 100 million dollars in federal
appropriations annually.
His command of New Mexico politics is equally impressive. In the
early 80s, Bruce served as Press Secretary for former New Mexico
Governor Garrey Carruthers. Since then, Bruce has been a key
player and informal advisor to dozens of public servants on political
strategy and public opinion. Bruce is praised for his straight talk, no
nonsense style and above all, confidentiality.
He leverages his extensive business, academia and government
contacts to grow and expand his clients’ existing operations.
Bruce received a M.A. in Speech communications from the University
of New Mexico in 1985, a B.A. in Education from the University of
New Mexico and was Valedictorian of Bloomfield HS.

- "Bruce was the first person I met as a Senate Staffer and has
served as a mentor and respected colleague ever since.
When I needed someone to run the Government Relations
Business Unit, selecting Bruce was an easy decision"
