Using traditional and cutting-edge communications tools, Horn has designed innovative campaign strategies for candidates, organizations and corporations in multiple states. In 2014, Horn’s political clients included candidates for Governor, Congress, Attorney General, and state
legislature.

After nearly a decade in corporate PR, Horn returned to campaign strategy with a bang, as Campaign Manager and Media Strategist for the successful campaign of Jean Stothert, who in 2013 became the first female mayor of Omaha.

As a corporate affairs consultant and professional media trainer, Horn has served clients in the higher education, energy and retail sectors, including Wal-Mart and Nebraska Furniture Mart, America’s largest home furnishings store and a Berkshire Hathaway company.

Ryan spent 7 years directing public affairs and government relations for Wal-Mart in the western U.S., directing successful ballot initiatives, guiding over 200 controversial real estate developments, and providing on-the-record media support and training to the company and its field executives in states throughout the West and Midwest.

Before joining Wal-Mart, Horn spent 10 years in campaign politics. In 2003 and 2004, Horn served as Field Finance Manager for the National Republican Senatorial Committee, where he pioneered fundraising tools to aid challengers for U.S. Senate.

Prior to the NRSC, Horn served campaigns for President, U.S. Senate and Congress in Iowa, South Dakota, Kansas, New Mexico, Oregon and Washington State.
