Principal-Led
Government Relations.
State and Federal Affairs. Representing state agencies, municipalities, and nonprofits before the Washington State Legislature.
Direct Legislative Advocacy
Registered lobbyist representation. Bill sponsorship, floor strategy, and direct engagement with legislators and staff throughout the session — handled personally by the principal.
Legislative Monitoring & Intelligence
Continuous tracking of bills, budget proviso language, committee activity, and interim work sessions. Delivered as structured briefings calibrated to decision-maker schedules — not raw data feeds.

Identification, cultivation, and coordination of allied organizations to build legislative momentum. Includes intergovernmental coordination across federal, state, and local partners when a client's priorities cross jurisdictional lines.
