Hayden Jewett is a seasoned government affairs professional with over a decade of experience across Capitol Hill, the private sector, and multi-client lobbying. He brings to Thorn Run Partners a proven track record of delivering federal policy wins and strategic counsel to clients, navigating complex legislative and regulatory environments.

Most recently, Hayden served as a multi-client lobbyist representing a range of companies and associations before Congress and the Executive Branch. His advocacy helped clients testify before key congressional committees and achieve both short- and long-term policy victories. His work spans a broad array of issues, including artificial intelligence, energy, tax policy, critical minerals, and supply chain resiliency.

Prior to that, Hayden was an in-house lobbyist at Gap Inc., a Fortune 200 company, where he led federal advocacy on tax and privacy issues. He also worked closely with the Administration to draft and implement the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, a critical piece of legislation aimed at preventing forced labor in global supply chains. His role required a deep understanding of international supply chain operations, particularly across Asia and the United States, and positioned him as a key player in corporate human rights and trade compliance efforts.

Before transitioning to the private sector, Hayden spent nearly five years on Capitol Hill serving the Texas congressional delegation in the offices of Small Business Chairman Roger Williams (R-TX) and former Congressman John Culberson (R-TX). He played a key role in shaping policy strategy and advised on Labor-HHS, Agriculture, and Legislative Branch appropriations. During his tenure, he led efforts to protect federal funding for hospitals and research institutions and was instrumental in securing bipartisan support for Hurricane Harvey recovery initiatives.

Outside of his professional work, Hayden is deeply engaged in political and civic leadership. He serves as Co-Chair of the D.C. Chapter of Maverick PAC and sits on its Steering Committee. He is also a longtime coach for the Republican Congressional Baseball Team, helping prepare nearly 40 members of Congress annually for the bipartisan Congressional Baseball Game for Charity held at Nationals Park.

Hayden holds a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Latin American Studies from Miami University. During his undergraduate years, he was actively involved in student life, including Sigma Alpha Epsilon, the Redhawk Solar Energy Society, Red Alert, and the Adopt a School program.
