Kimberly N. Hill

Kimberly N. Hill joined CAPITOL SOLUTIONS® as Vice President in February 2006. Her 15 years of government and private sector experience are a tremendous asset to the firm, providing clients with strategic advising, government relations support, and coalition management.

Prior to Capitol Solutions, Mrs. Hill served as a professional staff member of the Senate Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee, where she was responsible for writing and negotiating the Science and Technology, Infrastructure Protection and Information Analysis, FEMA and Coast Guard accounts under two successive Chairmen, Thad Cochran (R-MS) and Judd Gregg (R-NH). In this role, she authored and conferenced two stand-alone annual appropriations bills and crafted emergency funding provisions in several supplemental appropriations bills.

Mrs. Hill also served on the personal staff of Senator Cochran as both a Legislative Assistant handling energy, telecommunications, commerce, banking, trade, tax and related business issues, and as an Associate Appropriations Committee staff member to the Subcommittees of Energy and Water Development; Interior; Labor, Health and Human Services and Education; and the former District of Columbia and Treasury/Postal.

Clients rely on Mrs. Hill to distill the important facts and translate budget minutia into actionable and timely advice. She is viewed as an insider on appropriations activities and an expert on appropriations legislative details. Recently, she managed the public safety appropriations strategy for a Fortune 100 company in which she identified and developed several federal funding streams over multiple years. The company applied this federal funding strategy to grant programs totaling $3.5 billion, thus securing a 23% market share in its field.

Mrs. Hill has become an integral part of Capitol Solutions’ growing Energy and Environment practice. She was crucial in navigating the federal regulatory approval process for the first LNG gasification project subject to the Energy Policy Act of 2005 regulations, allowing the project to advance at the federal level with approval by the Department of Commerce. Mrs. Hill also developed and assisted with implementation of the US Green Building Council supported Congressional Green Schools Caucus. In this role, she focuses on coalition building around bipartisan policy positions as well as outreach to Republican congressional staff.

Mrs. Hill is a graduate of Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. She lives with her husband and two sons in Arlington, VA.
