Lobbying
Smart strategy starts with being well informed.
When it comes to lobbying, being informed means not just knowing your issue, but also knowing your audience. We understand how elected officials think and what moves them to action. Our team will prepare you and guide you through your lobbying effort by managing the policy and the personalities involved.
Our lobbyists take legislation from concept to statute by:
- Developing strategic plans for the passage or defeat of legislation
- Drafting legislation that meets the needs of your organization and tracking and monitoring other legislation that involves your interests
- Extensively researching the history and background of issues and preparing briefing memos for you and elected officials
- Providing key testimony in committee hearings
- Gaining access to key decision makers - both legislators and staff - to educate them on complex issues and unknown perspectives
- Providing a complete understanding of the realities facing your organization within the big picture of an issue - through political forecasting
