Nick Buro is a Vice President at Rodriguez Strategies
Nick has spent more than a decade bridging the gap between private stakeholders and public policymakers — turning strategic goals into tangible outcomes for some of the country's most recognized organizations. He works alongside trade associations, corporations, nonprofits, and foundations to build and mobilize winning coalitions that make real policy change possible.
His client roster spans industries and causes, and have included: DoorDash, the Pew Charitable Trusts, Molina Healthcare, the National Wildlife Federation, Lime Micromobility, Voters for Cures, Extreme Weather Survivors, and the International Franchise Association, among others. Across California and multiple states, Nick has guided organizations through high-stakes policy challenges and forcefully advocated for issues on behalf of clients — translating complicated legislative and regulatory issues into clear, executable strategies.
Campaigns like California’s No on Prop 30 (2022), Yes on Prop 22 (2020), and anti-beverage and grocery tax ballot efforts reflect the range and impact of his work. From managing large scale canvassing teams on the ground, to advocacy on behalf of clients in front of policymakers, Nick brings the same core focus to every engagement: collaboration, education, and results that actually move the needle.
What sets Nick apart is his ability to operate at scale without losing sight of the relationships that drive his work forward. Across multiple high-profile engagements at once, he's present where it matters most — from local city council chambers to presenting at stakeholder meetings — while keeping teams and organizations on message in changing political environments.
