There is always hope.

I’m Dean Clancy, a policy analyst, opinion writer, and public speaker. I’ve held high-level policy positions in Congress, the White House, and the U.S. health care industry.

As a partner at Adams Auld LLC, I counsel clients on a variety of policy and political matters, with an emphasis on U.S. health care and budget policy. I also have a strong personal interest in constitutional reform efforts. My wife and I have four children.

My passion is to help make all our lives a little freer, happier, and more prosperous by promoting the causes of civil rights, individual liberty, and local self-government. If you share that passion, or just think you might benefit from my advice or services, please don't hesitate to reach out.

On a personal note: James Madison is my homeboy, Walker Percy is my spirit guide, and Toshiro Mifune is my BSF (best samurai forever). And I would rather be George Smiley than James Bond.

My motto is Felix idemque sapiens: To be wise and happy are reciprocal terms.

There is always hope.
