Keith believes that every organization has a story to tell. When the story is told well and strategically, that organization will be better equipped to reach its goals.
A 27-year veteran with top-level experience advising, designing, and managing some of the largest campaigns in US history, Keith has worked for governors, members of Congress, and served in the White House under the first Bush Administration. His work has taken him around the world to dozens of countries and almost every state in the nation. Among other roles, Keith has served as Special Assistant to the Vice President of the United States, Special Assistant to the Governor of New Jersey, consultant to the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), consultant with top-secret security clearance to national security agencies, and campaign manager to Congresswoman Michele Bachmann in the 2012 presidential campaign.
In 2000, Keith realized his vision for a multidimensional communications strategy firm that not only focused on the public relations needs for clients but also designed growth strategies for companies and organizations ranging from small start-up businesses and nonprofits to multinational corporations.
In 2023, Keith Nahigian worked with partners to launch the Balancing Act Project to advance a national conversation centered on the need for Congress to provide final approval for significant federal agency regulations that impact American industries and their consumers; thereby returning the final say to the people and resetting the relationship between the branches of government. In 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court will review the constitutionality of federal agencies to interpret the intent Congress in agency. This will give businesses impacted by regulations the power to challenge decisions affecting every American citizen and businesses through their elected representatives decided due to Chevron Deference.
Among his many career achievements, Keith has worked for six presidential campaigns, managed the messaging priorities for HHS at the request of the Secretary, and orchestrated both the Medicare Part D prescription drug enrollment campaign and the HHS Prevention and Value Driven campaign.
Keith has significant experience working with the media and has been a frequent source of commentary for national news outlets, including the Washington Post, New York Times, Boston Globe, Wall Street Journal, ABC, CNN, NBC, CBS, Fox News, NPR, and others.
Keith is married to his wife Courtney and holds a B.A. in History from the College of Wooster.
Maloy, and Utah’s other Republican House representatives, Blake Moore, John Curtis and Burgess Owens, headlined the event hosted by the Balancing Act Project, a new national lobbying organization that selected Utah as the location to launch its effort to reshape the country’s regulatory environment. “We chose Utah because Utah has a tradition of questioning the one-size-fits-all approach from Washington,” Balancing Act Project founder Keith Nahigian said. The nonpartisan, nonprofit organization says it was created to prepare Congress for the power vacuum that will be created if a 1984 decision that gives broad policymaking authority to unelected federal officials is repealed.

When looking at the Biden administration’s RealClearPolitics job approval polling average over the last 3½ years, you see something highly unusual. Mr. Biden’s approval rating has remained underwater for 30 months, which is extraordinary for a sitting president with the bully pulpit and the power to drive the news cycle daily. He should be able to dominate the message and starve any challenger of earned media attention — forcing that challenger to expend resources through paid media. Yet Mr. Biden continues to lag in favorability at a time when he wants to be gaining momentum.
“We are gathered here in Utah with the entire House delegation and business leaders representing the hard-working men and women of the state. Utah has a tradition of questioning the ‘one-size-fits-all approach that we see in Washington. With one of the nation’s strongest economies, Utah serves as an example of how accountable, balanced governance can benefit the people,” said Balancing Act Project Co-Founder Keith Nahigian.
