Phil Bell
Chief Executive Officer
Phil Bell is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of the Tower K Group.
Phil's story in politics and public policy began in an unlikely place: at the Amtrak station in Jacksonville, FL. Young Phil had a long time before his train arrived and he wondered why Amtrak owns very little of the track it uses. Learning the story of Amtrak's creation was an introduction to the problems of over-regulation, the benefits of free markets, and how people lose when government decides that it knows better than us how to live our lives and run our businesses.
Grown-Up Phil nurtured this early lesson on politics and public policy through his college years at Boston University and early employment with courier service Inplex, Inc. and financial heavyweight State Street Bank. He later landed at GoRail, where he worked with grasstops: state- and local elected officials, political appointees such as state secretaries of transportation, and private businesses including chambers of commerce, to help Members of Congress understand why re-regulating the railroad industry would have devastated our economy. That led to grassroots work on political campaigns, notably House Speaker Newt Gingrich's 2012 run, where Phil educated individuals on why activities like going door-to-door and making voter outreach calls is critical to electoral success. He motivated many of these same individuals to become consistent volunteers and maintains plenty of these relationships years later.
After returning to the advocacy world in support of state-level pro-religious liberty legislation, Phil spent nearly 7 years leading corporate and foundation fundraising at Center-Right grassroots organization FreedomWorks. As part of his work, he played a key role in placing op-eds, facilitating newspaper, television, and digital advertising, and managing the organization's relationships with Fortune 500 companies.
Phil brings this diverse background to the Tower K Group, which gives us the ability to develop bespoke solutions for both non-profit organizations who are building lasting, well-funded programs, and donors seeking the organizations best able to realize their well-defined policy goals.

When not on the ground for Tower K, Phil serves as the DC Correspondent for The Daily Mojo, co-hosts The All American Talk Show, and opines on the railroad industry for The All Aboard Podcast.​
