As President of Dutko Worldwide, Craig helps oversee the day-to-day operations of our U.S. and foreign offices, and is part of the senior management team who manage the implementation of the company's strategy for service and growth. Craig also manages our innovative State & Local practice.

Craig got started in politics in his native New Hampshire, serving as a field director for then-Vice President Bush in 1986 and 1987. After a brief stint in the White House, he spent three years at the US Department of Education, and served as senior staff to Deputy Secretary David Kearns. Following the first Bush Administration, Craig helped launch what became Kaufman*Nelson*Pattee (KNP), a pioneering, national, state government affairs practice.

Today, Craig remains involved with the National Governor's Association (NGA) and Republican Governor's Association, as well as Republican mayoral and county groups, having served as staff chair to the NGA's three standing policy committees. He has served as the Washington DC representative or senior advisor to many governors, including Governors Ed Schafer and John Hoeven (ND), Governor Tommy Thompson (WI) and Governor Jim Douglas (VT).

Craig is married, with two young children--and splits his time between Washington and New Hampshire.
