Legacy Consulting Colorado
About Our Team
Lacey Hays
Founder and Owner of Legacy Consulting Colorado
Lacey Hays founded Legacy Consulting Colorado in 2018 after
working with 3 other lobby firms in this state. She wanted to
continue the legacy of representing clients with the highest
degree of integrity and transparency before the state legislature,
Governor's Office, and its state agencies.
Throughout her over 11-year career in advocacy, Lacey has been involved in the policy areas of health care, technology, transportation, education, tobacco, cannabis, animal advocacy, hemp, gaming, real estate, agriculture, substance-use disorder/recovery, mental health and senior care. Other areas of expertise include fundraising, public speaking, association management, and social media management. Lacey has recently been elected as the President of the Colorado Lobbyists Association where she represents her lobbying colleagues at the state legislature and in her leadership running the newly revitalized association.
Lacey graduated with a B.A. in Political Science from Colorado State University. After spending the 2013 Legislative Session interning for State Senator Matt Jones(D- Boulder), she gained full-time employment as a legislative aide to 2 State Senators, George Rivera(R-Pueblo) and Kevin Grantham(R-Canon City).
Lacey represents 5 generations of Hays to have gained employment in the State Capitol. Her great-great grandfather was one of the foreman on the building itself and her great grandfather sat as a state supreme court justice when all three branches of government were still housed in the state Capitol. Her father and grandfather, former Lt. Governor and Senate President Frank L. Hays II, were among the first lobbyists in the state (Hays, Hays and Wilson). Lacey is proud to carry on this legacy.
