Our Team

Deborah C. Ingersoll

Deborah Ingersoll, known for her ability to bring diverse groups together to achieve common goals, has been a driving force in Texas politics since 1989.

Ranked multiple times in the Texas Lobby Power Rankings, Deborah has worked with a wide range of high-profile clients, including AT&T, Southwestern Bell, the Texas State Troopers Association, Mirage Resorts, and Ysleta Del Sur Pueblo. She has also been recognized as the Capitol Crowd’s Favorite Female Lobbyist and was featured as Person of the Week by Robyn Hadley for her outstanding contributions to the Capitol community.

Beginning as the founder of Reference Guides, Inc., Deborah revolutionized access to information about elected officials long before the digital age. Her innovative approach to compiling and distributing critical data paved the way for modern legislative resources. She later built on this success with the creation of Legislative Solutions in 1994, where she has continued to excel in lobbying, fundraising, and email distribution.

Deborah is responsible for the creation of the Online Texas Lobby Guide, which provides access to all registered lobbyists. It is easier than ever for individuals and organizations to find the representation they need because it is updated daily.

An El Paso native, Deborah has not only left her mark on the legislative world but also brings expertise as a licensed real estate agent. Her entrepreneurial spirit, combined with proven experience, makes her a trusted advocate and partner for her clients.
