Career
Bob Cornelius attended Eastern New Mexico University from 2000 to 2004. He filed for graduation in June 2020. After leaving the university in 2004, Cornelius began a career as a political consultant and politician. According to a conservative New Mexico political blog, Politix Fireball, Cornelius was "often seen campaigning for underdog and unknown candidates in Republican primaries."[2] Cornelius is the CEO of 90 Degrees Agency, an Austin-based consulting agency that specializes in marketing, media strategy and creative design "for start-ups, small businesses, corporate, and political clients."[3]
In 2010, Cornelius ran in the Republican primary for New Mexico State Land Commissioner but lost the race to Matt Rush. As the primary campaign came to a close, questions were raised about Cornelius' references to a biogas startup company, Petro Verde, which he claimed would "create hundreds of jobs and millions of dollars in annual revenue for the city of Clovis." The company, at the time of the primary election, had yet to secure an investor, according to the Santa Fe Reporter.[4] In 2013, Campaigns and Elections named Cornelius one of the top 10 influential people in the state of New Mexico. The magazine called him a "conservative ad man plugged into the Southeastern Baptist Association and the Right to Life Committee of New Mexico."[5]
