Issues Lobbying

Policy Management

Through years of experience in Washington, Washington Strategies' principals have established extensive contacts with federal lawmakers and their staffs.  These relationships are essential for any lobbying campaign. We have learned, in addition, the ability to create and convey convincing messages that cut through today’s policy barriers to successfully reach targeted policymakers.  In this era of “information overload,” where retail politics and electronic lobbying campaigns overwhelm policymakers and institutions, Washington Strategies understands that the most effective way to achieve results in Washington is to establish long-term relationships with key decision makers, build convincing arguments for position, and then mobilize those leaders as advocates.

Examples of Washington Strategies' recent issues lobbying work include:

  • Organizing and promoting an Armed Services Committee hearing on international shipping and maritime security issues for a multinational shipping corporation;
     
  • Securing over 225 cosponsors in the House for a tax incentive bill for a large technology firm;
     
  • Successfully mobilizing support to pass a key amendment through the House Resources Committee for a nonprofit grassroots organization;
     
  • Acting as the liaison between a resources issues client and the Department of Justice and the Department of the Interior.
