Brinton Payne

Senior Advisor, Government Relations

Brinton Payne has worked in and around the Texas Legislature and local governments in Texas for decades. He was a staffer for two members of the Texas Senate – both of whom served in the Senate Finance Committees.

In 2006, Brinton moved to the private sector serving as the Vice President of Government Affairs for the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce. In this role, he worked to protect the Fort Worth business community at the state legislature and assisted in various local initiatives as they pertained to economic development, water, transportation, education and healthcare.
