Ryan C. Kelly is the President and CEO of Primacy Strategy Group (PSG), a leading government relations and public affairs firm with deep roots in the Midwest and a national reach that spans all 50 state laboratories of democracy and Washington, D.C.

Ryan’s career in politics began early—at just 20 years old, he successfully managed his father’s campaign for Mayor of Saint Paul, Minnesota, and later led the political operations of the mayoral administration. This early experience laid the foundation for a career defined by strategic insight, political acumen, and a results-driven approach to public affairs.

Representing a diverse array of clients ranging from Fortune 500 C-suite executives, nonprofit leaders, large tech companies, healthcare systems, flagship construction and real estate companies, counties and municipalities, Ryan leverages these deep relationships to connect his clients to the right stakeholders at the right time to make the improbable possible.

In today’s rapidly evolving policy environment, Ryan is frequently called upon to lead multi-jurisdictional efforts that span state lines and sectors. His ability to anticipate challenges, build coalitions, and deliver results has built PSG into a premier go-to firm for clients seeking to influence public policy at every level of government.

Additionally, Ryan serves as Principal of Synergetic Endeavors, PSG’s sister firm co-headquartered in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Synergetic Endeavor’s work in large-scale events and national convention planning, coalition building, and association management complements PSG’s mission and enhances the full spectrum of services offered to clients.

As a bold visionary, and strategic leader, Ryan C. Kelly harnesses his network and deep first-hand experience to turn complex challenges into opportunities – and deliver results at the highest level.
