With a combined decade in the federal and state government before transitioning to the private sector, Bo Butler served seven years on Capitol Hill and three years as Chief of Staff to Georgia’s Lt. Governor.
 

During his time as a Legislative Assistant in the U.S. Senate, he worked in a bi-partisan effort on issues ranging from healthcare and telecommunication to transportation and foreign relations. As Legislative Director to a Chairman on a House Appropriations Subcommittee, Bo placed a significant amount of his focus on identifying line items in the budget–writing programmatic requests to support entities in the State of Georgia, and important to the overall national economy and security.
 

As Chief of Staff, Bo led the Lt. Governor’s Office in negotiations over the state’s $26 billion annual budget, oversaw the passage of legislation through the Senate Committees, facilitated economic development missions, and worked with the Governor and House of Representatives to perfect legislative priorities important to Georgia’s continued success. His professional and personal relationships with statewide and community leaders have proven to be an invaluable resource to see ideas become reality.
 

As a former senior advisor, Bo understands the importance of being a trusted resource for legislators and public officials. While the firm’s clients are our top priority, maintaining the trust and respect of policymakers is of the utmost importance to Bo and the Butler Avenue Partners team.

In addition to leading lobbying efforts and business development strategies for clients, Bo focuses on identifying and structuring investment opportunities in the private sector, both in emerging and traditional markets. He also assists clients with the placement and purchase of federal investment tax credits and state tax credits.
