Legislative Relationship Building and Visibility

Hundreds of groups come through the Capitol each year. We work to cut through the noise so legislators know our clients and understand why their issues matter. This includes facilitating:

​Lobbying

Direct lobbying is at the core of successfully moving, blocking, or negotiating policy and appropriations initiatives. Successful lobbying begins with sound strategy. Before session, we work with clients to develop clear priorities, so we are well equipped for the
fast-paced decisions that must be made throughout the legislative process.

We believe good lobbying is about more than securing passive support. We aim to make clients’ issues priorities for legislators. At each step in the process, we look for opportunities to advance clients’ issues. And when roadblocks emerge, we work every angle to overcome or maneuver around them. There are fewer than 80 legislative days in a session, and we devote every single one to pushing clients’ agendas forward.  After bills pass, we work closely with the Executive Branch on gubernatorial approval as well as department implementation and rulemaking.

WPG’s range of lobbying services are designed to execute strategies to advance clients' goals in the Capitol. These services include:

Monitoring and Tracking

Sound legislative strategy is built on accurate and timely information. The WPG team has deep relationships with legislators, staff, department leaders, and other lobbyists to learn of emerging issues as they unfold. Understanding the full context of an issue is essential to seizing opportunities and adjusting strategy to overcome barriers.
