Outgoing Missouri Senate President Pro Tem Caleb Rowden (R-Columbia) has announced his new role as the director of strategic advocacy at Strategic Capitol Consulting, a lobbying group based in Missouri. Rowden, who could not seek reelection due to term limits, will take on this position after leaving office early next year.
In a press release, Rowden expressed his excitement to join SCC and lead efforts in marketing, digital media, strategic planning, and external advocacy. He aims to bring a fresh, innovative approach to lobbying and continue advocating for sound public policy on behalf of individuals and businesses across the state.
Having served in the Missouri Senate since 2016, Rowden’s transition from the political arena to a private lobbying firm marks a new chapter in his career. His experience and expertise in policy-making and advocacy are expected to bring valuable insights to SCC’s efforts.
The move also highlights the revolving door between politics and lobbying in Missouri, as former lawmakers frequently transition into roles within the advocacy and lobbying sector. While Rowden’s departure from the Senate may mark the end of his legislative career, his new role at SCC signals a continuation of his commitment to serving the state of Missouri through strategic advocacy and public policy.
