Schuessler brings more than a decade of leadership experience in the state's executive and legislative branches and a wealth of experience in Florida politics to the Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney public affairs firm.
"Pierce's extensive network, strategic acumen, and deep knowledge of Florida's political levers will fortify our top-tier Florida team and help deliver even more victories for our clients," said Mike Grissom, principal of Buchanan's government relations team. "We know that his deep understanding of Florida's budget process will prove to be a major asset for our firm, and we're thrilled to have him on our team."

He served in the Governor's Office of Policy and Budget and, later, as Director of Legislative Affairs for the Department of State and the Department of Environmental Protection.
Schuessler also served as a top aide to then-state Sen. Tom Lee. He also previously worked as an advisor to U.S. Rep. Laurel Lee when she was Florida's Secretary of State.
