Making Government Make Sense to You.
I have been involved with Washington State politics and specifically the state legislature since 1983. It has been a very pleasant career, starting as a committee clerk, Legislative Assistant, Political Finance/Analysis work at the Public Disclosure Commission, and over 30 years in lobbying and campaign strategy.
Who We Are and What We do…
Successful legislative advocacy combines many things. There must be a realistic assessment of what is possible, and a strategy for success. A clear, concise, compelling message must be developed for each issue. Stakeholders and champions must be identified, recruited, and provided supporting material. Throughout the entire process, progress needs to be monitored and as needed, modified as conditions or dynamics change. Because there are so many critical deadlines or steps to the successful advocacy of an issue, members of your government relations team must have a detailed understanding of the process. Finally, legislative advocacy for a public agency requires special attention to state and local laws and the restrictions that apply to a public agency. Effective advocacy includes solid results and a strict adherence to ethics and values.
