About the Firm
Government Experience. Real Results.
Hudspeth Consulting was built on a simple premise: the best government affairs counsel comes from people who have actually governed.

Former Mayor — 6 Years, North Texas
Founder & Managing Member
Gerard Hudspeth spent six years serving as Mayor in North Texas — years that gave him an understanding of city government that no amount of outside consulting can replicate. He sat in the meetings, cast the votes, navigated the politics, and worked through the hard problems that cities face every day. He knows what councils respond to, what staff needs to hear, and how decisions actually get made.
That experience is the foundation of Hudspeth Consulting. Founded in 2026, the firm exists to give clients — cities, businesses, and organizations — the kind of strategic guidance that only comes from someone who has been on the inside. Whether the challenge is securing a city council approval, navigating a complex government process, or solving a problem that seems intractable, Gerard brings the perspective of a former elected official to every engagement.
What drives him is straightforward: a belief that good outcomes in government don't happen by accident. They happen because someone prepared, built the right relationships, and made the case effectively. That is what Hudspeth Consulting does for its clients.
What We Stand For
Principles That Guide Every Engagement
Insider Knowledge
Six years as a sitting mayor means we understand government from the inside — not just the process, but the people, the pressures, and the politics.
Straight Talk
We tell clients what they need to hear, not what they want to hear. Honest counsel is the foundation of every successful engagement.
Results Focus
Strategy without execution is just talk. We stay engaged through every phase until the outcome is achieved.
Community Commitment
Good government serves communities. We bring that conviction to every client relationship — because the work we do has real consequences for real people.
