HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug 12, 2025--

Leading strategic public policy, communications, and advocacy firm HBW Resources today announced the appointment of Maddie Milam as Senior Director, State Affairs. In this critical role, Milam will lead HBW’s state-level government affairs activities in the Midwest, focusing on energy policy, utility regulation, permitting, and infrastructure.

Milam brings extensive experience to her new position. She will spearhead strategic engagement with policymakers, regulatory bodies, and industry stakeholders, and additionally, will represent Consumer Energy Alliance across the Midwest. Her responsibilities will include advising on legislative and regulatory developments, building coalitions, and implementing advocacy strategies that advance innovation, infrastructure investment, and sustainable growth.

“We are thrilled to have Maddie join our organization during such a crucial time in the national energy discussion, and as the country faces a once-in-a-generation increase in electricity demand with the AI and data center boom,” HBW Managing Partner David Holt said. “Her experience in electricity, her deep understanding of state and local engagement, and political strategy all boost our ability to serve our clients across the country.”

Prior to joining HBW, Milam worked at the Edison Electric Institute (EEI), where she represented investor-owned electric companies before national organizations and played a key role in building bipartisan coalitions.

Before her work at EEI, Milam served as Director of Member Initiatives at the National Republican Congressional Committee, while holding senior operations roles in the U.S. House of Representatives, including with Speaker John Boehner.

"I'm excited to join HBW at such an important, change-rich time for the energy and electricity industries," Milam said. "HBW’s reputation for delivering top-flight, sensible and actionable strategies for clients is well-known in the energy world. I look forward to the opportunity to serve our clients with my passion for pragmatic solutions and working with companies and government to help solve our nation's energy challenges."
