Washington, DC – S-3 Group announced today the addition of Dennis Nalls to the firm, further expanding its Capitol Hill and Trump Administration reach. Nalls, who built his Hill career inside the House Republican whip operation, most recently served as Floor Director to House Majority Whip Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN). He will start work in early May.

“As a fellow former floor director, I know Dennis’ rare top-to-bottom understanding of the legislative process paired with his deep relationships across the House Republican Conference, the Trump Administration, and key committees will be an immediate asset to our clients,” said S-3 Group Managing Partner Matt Bravo. “His career spanning two different whip offices, six different Congresses, and the most complex legislative battles of our time has given him a command of procedure and politics it takes to drive priorities across the finish line. I’m fired up to work alongside Dennis at S-3.”

“Dennis is one of the best teammates you could have,” said House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN). “S-3 is fortunate to have Dennis on their team. He’s smart, loyal, always thinking two steps ahead, and works to solve any problem that arises. Over his decade in the House, Dennis has gained the trust and confidence of members from across the GOP conference. Because of his expertise, relationships, and leadership, we have achieved win after win on the House floor.”

“Dennis has spent a decade at the center of the House Republican whip operation,” said S-3 Group Founding Partner John Scofield. “He has his finger on the pulse of the Republican members and is one of the go-to people when the Administration is looking to move their legislative agenda. I’m thrilled to have him on our team.”

“Dennis was an invaluable part of Team Scalise for years and was there for me and my family in the wake of the Congressional Baseball shooting,” said House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA). “He went on to do great work for Whip Emmer, helping pass our House Republican agenda even with a historically narrow majority. I’m grateful to Dennis for his service and look forward to seeing him succeed in this next chapter!”

Dennis Nalls has extensive experience in House Leadership, having played key roles in floor operations for two different Republican Whip offices. Prior to working with Majority Whip Tom Emmer, Nalls served on House Majority Leader Steve Scalise’s floor team during his tenure as whip. He has worked closely on all major pieces of legislation moving through Congress over the last decade, including the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, NDAAs, appropriations, cryptocurrency legislation, budget fights, and other critical legislative battles.
