Cornerstone Team

Campbell Kaufman

Camp Kaufman brings 17 years of public affairs experience to Cornerstone, where he concentrates his efforts in the areas of telecommunications, information technology, and health care. As a founding and managing partner of Cornerstone, Camp currently leads project teams for clients as diverse as Microsoft Corporation, CenturyLink, Stupp Corporation, and Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center.

Camp has particular expertise in combining public affairs, direct lobbying, paid advertising, and grassroots advocacy campaigns. In 2008, he helped lead a successful effort for six telecommunications carriers to stop a vote
at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The critical vote on Inter- carrier Compensation and Universal Service would have, if passed, crippled these publicly traded companies and limited services for their
customers. The comprehensive plan he helped develop included a paid print media campaign (Stop the Vote!) in national and DC press, a grassroots campaign with over 5,000 people contacting their members of Congress, a direct lobbying campaign resulting in more than 100 members of Congress writing letters in opposition to the vote, and the recruitment of two dozen third party groups who also wrote letters.

Additionally, Camp led the successful completion of a $500 million contract award with the option for an additional $900 million on behalf of a foreign biotechnology company that was seeking access to the U.S. government market. He is also leading Cornerstone’s expansion into state government relations, with a first outpost established in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, his hometown. In this role, Camp is involved in a number of political and business activities in Louisiana, as well as assisting with the office’s state clients.

Prior to his work at Cornerstone, Camp worked on Capitol Hill, serving as communications director and a senior policy advisor for two Louisiana members of Congress. He has also been involved in various campaigns for Republican candidates at the local, state, and national levels.

He serves on the board of the First Tee of Washington, D.C. and on the Leadership Donor Committee at St. Stephen’s and St. Agnes School in Alexandria, Virginia. Camp holds a B.A. in Journalism from Louisiana State University and is married with two children.
