He is the president and managing partner of Summit Consulting Group, a firm that provides services in political campaigns, public relations, and corporate affairs. Willems has managed hundreds of campaigns and public opinion surveys at both the local and national levels. His work has spanned various political offices, from school boards to members of Congress.
Before establishing himself in Arizona, Willems was heavily involved in California politics, particularly as a grassroots organizer and political fundraiser. He also served as the Executive Director of the Adam Smith Institute, a conservative/libertarian think tank, before transitioning to consulting. Since moving to Arizona in 1998, he has become a prominent figure in the state’s political landscape, playing a key role in high-profile campaigns.
Willems is also deeply involved in the school choice movement, serving as Director of Arizona Parents for Education, a coalition of parents whose children attend online public charter schools.
