Bob is a Jedi Master of government arts with long practice as the legislator he once was and the lobbyist he now is.

Robert Byrd, CEO of the The Byrd Group, LLC, has spent a lifetime in Delaware politics, starting with his first election to the House of Representatives in 1974. He served two terms and chaired the Labor and Commerce Committee and was Majority Whip. After leaving the state legislature, he worked as vice president, chief lobbyist, and chief financial officer for the Delaware State Chamber of Commerce from 1979 to 1988.

Byrd of Legislative Hall details more than 40 years of Robert Byrd’s life as a Delaware legislator and lobbyist. He has been in the know on just about every deal that has gone down in the back rooms and corridors of power in Delaware during those years. Not only has Byrd seen it all, he has seen who was in on it pulling the strings. He knows how to maneuver a governor into not vetoing a bill. He knows the reason people in Delaware can ride motorcycles with the helmet on their motorcycle and not their head. He knows why there were no Budweiser Clydesdales in a parade when Joe Biden was elected vice president. Click here for a full bio.
