A Jefferson City native, Nikki Strong’s journey into the realm of politics and government affairs was ignited by her early experiences working on campaigns. Inspired by her grandfather, Jim Strong, a dedicated public servant in the Missouri House and Senate for 18 years until his retirement in 1991, Nikki’s passion for legislative processes and public policy was nurtured from a young age.

With an impressive career spanning nearly two decades, Nikki is a seasoned lobbyist recognized for her expertise in advocating for a diverse range of issues. Her areas of specialization include healthcare, education, economic development, insurance, sports, medical malpractice, local government, transportation, and construction. Her ability to navigate the complex landscape of these sectors has made her an invaluable asset to our clients.

Nikki’s professional journey is marked by significant milestones. In 2008, she joined the Missouri Health Care Association as the Director of Government Affairs, a role in which she demonstrated exceptional leadership and advocacy skills. Her excellence in this position led to her promotion to Executive Director in 2013, where she continued to excel as a lobbyist and spearheaded the Government Affairs initiatives for the Association.

Before embarking on her lobbying career in 2004, Nikki honed her legal acumen as a paralegal for over a decade. This experience provided her with a solid foundation in legal principles and procedures, further enhancing her capabilities as a lobbyist.

Nikki holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration and resides in Jefferson City with her husband. Her son, Braydon, recently graduated from MU and, following in his mother’s footsteps with two lobbying internships under his belt, is poised to start his career at a lobbying firm in Nashville this month. Outside of her professional life, Nikki cherishes spending time outdoors, hiking, and enjoying weekends on the boat during the summer months.
