Legislative Advocacy
The legislative side covers bill drafting, amendments, committee testimony, and floor strategy, grounded in staff service on the House Ways & Means and Appropriations Committees.
Austin, Texas · In the Capitol since 1984
The Lobbyist Who Grew Up in the Capitol.
Nora Del Bosque has worked the Texas Legislature from both sides of the committee table — as committee staff in the Texas House, as a Fortune 500 public affairs representative, and since 2003 as an independent lobbyist for corporations, trade associations, municipalities, and nonprofits.
Nora Del Bosque handles every engagement herself — and has since 2003.
Practice
The practice does three things.
Regulatory & Agency Affairs
The regulatory work spans rulemaking, agency relationships, and administrative proceedings at agencies from TCEQ and the PUC to TxDOT and HHSC.
Government Strategy & Consultation
Some clients need counsel rather than lobbying: landscape analysis, stakeholder mapping, and board-level briefings on Texas legislative risk.
Background
The career is a matter of record.
Nora Del Bosque's career in Texas government began in 1984. She first clerked for committees where Texas wrote its tax code and budget. She then managed four-state government relations for a Fortune 500 company. In 2003, she began to practice independently in Austin. The unbroken dedication from the Capitol floor to her independent practice is why clients hire Nora Del Bosque.
