Government Relations • Utah

Real Access.
Real Results.
No Bureaucracy.

Utah's political landscape is complex. I make it simple. As a former State Senate Majority Whip and Governor's Cabinet member, I know the rooms, the people, and how things actually get done.

What I Do

Strategic Services for
Complex Challenges

I don't do vague strategy. Every engagement is built around your specific situation, your goals, and the real-world relationships that make things happen in Utah.

Utah Government Relations

I've sat in these rooms. Direct advocacy, real relationships with key policymakers, and strategic engagement that advances your interests at the state capitol — not just access, but outcomes.

Political & Strategic Problem Solving

When the stakes are high and the path isn't clear, I bring clarity. Law, executive branch, legislature, business — I've operated across all of it and I use all of it to solve your problem.

Communication & Policy Analysis

The right message to the right people at the right time. I provide sharp policy analysis and help you communicate your position with precision to the audiences that actually matter.

Strategic Political & Business Planning

I see around corners. Long-range strategies that align your business objectives with Utah's evolving political environment — so you're positioned ahead of the curve, not reacting to it.

About

Dan Hemmert

I'm not a career lobbyist who learned government from the outside. I served in it — as Executive Director of the Governor's Office of Economic Development and as Majority Whip in the Utah State Senate. I know how decisions get made because I made them.

Before politics, I built and ran businesses — restaurants, retail, private equity, venture-backed tech. That combination of executive branch, legislative, legal, and business experience is genuinely rare. I put all of it to work for you.

The Difference

Why Work with Hemmco?

Most government relations firms sell access. I deliver results — because I understand the difference between being in the room and knowing what to do once you're there.

01

I've Sat in Those Rooms

I didn't learn Utah government from the outside looking in. I served in the executive branch and led in the legislature. That firsthand knowledge of how decisions actually get made is something you can't replicate.

02

I Don't Do Vague

No hand-wavy strategy decks. Every engagement is built around clear objectives and measurable outcomes. You'll always know what I'm doing, why I'm doing it, and what we're trying to achieve.

03

I See Around Corners

I actively monitor Utah's legislative changes, political dynamics, and emerging trends — so I can give you timely, actionable guidance that prepares your organization for what's coming, not just what's here.
