How It All Started
Our founder has always had a passion for political activism. From high school, Tim Hennessy was active in local races and in college began joining local governmental boards to learn more about the process. A desire to give back and civic duty sparked the idea for this firm that begin almost 30 years ago.
A run for school board at 24 fueled a desire to become more active in local politics. Serving as a judge and delegate for the 2008 and 2012 Republican State Conventions in Indiana respectively, and another run for a County Council seat in 2008 allowed Tim to hone his campaign develop skills and then continue to add more board, nonprofits, and government work to get us to where we are today. Hennessy Strategies is here to serve.
