Tino Rossi

Vice President

Tino Rossi has helped Fortune 100 companies, trade associations, and statewide ballot measure campaigns craft diverse coalitions and effective messages that move voters and impact public opinion on the state’s most complex issues.

Most notably, Tino has been an integral part of multiple successful statewide ballot measure fights, historic legislative negotiations, and prominent regional and statewide public affairs campaigns.

At Swing Strategies, Tino’s portfolio requires him to be a subject-matter expert on issues ranging from tax, agricultural, and water policy to gambling, land use, logistics, and labor regulations.

Preceding his role at Swing Strategies, Tino mastered building diverse statewide coalitions, generating earned media, and executing effective grassroots campaigns at Meridian Pacific, Inc.

Tino also worked as the Director of Communications for the Rice Growers Association of California, LLC and as an in-house consultant for Studio 5 Consulting in San Francisco.

Tino was born and raised in the Central Valley and is a proud Fresno State Bulldog.

In his spare time, Tino enjoys playing golf, cooking, traveling and working with his favorite non-profits — especially the Cultivating Change Foundation, which named him their “Ally of the Year” in 2018.

He lives in Sacramento with his wife, Lauren, and their two pets — Peki, a “hairless” cat and Polly, a “hairy” cat.
