Robert Culley’s
legislative experience began over thirty years ago, when he served as Chief of
Staff for a State Representative who was later elected State Senator. His long-time service at the Capitol has left

Robert oversaw the House Public Education Committee and the Senate
Administration Committee.

Texas Capitol for several years before becoming the Director of Governmental
Affairs for the Texas Motor Transportation Association in the early
1990’s. There, he oversaw public
relations, grassroots and lobbying efforts for the association’s 1200 members.
In 1993, Robert joined
Polan Culley (then Polan Ingram Advocacy Group), bringing his extensive Capitol
and trade association experience to the firm.
He brings his clients a wealth of knowledge in strategy and project
management, bill drafting, comprehensive communications programs, and media
relations.
Robert attended the
