Since founding Lincoln Park Group in 2017, Reilly has represented a wide range of organizations — from Fortune 500 companies and national trade associations to local governments and nonprofits — helping each find success in Washington’s ever-shifting political landscape.

Previously, Reilly served as Vice President and Head of Federal Affairs & Policy at the Wine and Spirits Wholesalers of America, where he was the association’s top strategist and voice before Congress and federal agencies. He spent over a decade leading bipartisan lobbying efforts for family-owned wine and spirits distributors, earning a reputation for persistence, pragmatism, and policy acumen.

He began his lobbying career as Director of Government Affairs at the Generic Pharmaceutical Association (now the Association for Accessible Medicines), where he worked on issues ranging from Medicaid reimbursement to patent reform and drug importation.

Before settling in Washington, Reilly worked on numerous political campaigns and in the offices of U.S. Senators Richard Durbin and Tom Harkin. He is a co-founder and board member of the U.S.-Ireland Partnership for Growth, which leads an annual Congressional staff and corporate delegation to Ireland.

Reilly earned his B.A. magna cum laude from Lake Forest College in 2004.
