Success in lobbying comes from using precisely the right combination of strategies at precisely the right time. In identifying that unique combination for each client, we draw on a range of Hodes & Landy strengths:
- Strategy development. After assessing your organization's goals and objectives, we formulate a thorough strategy and message to achieve success and enhance your credibility with state agencies, legislators, and the executive branch.
- Direct advocacy. As part of executing the strategy, we facilitate direct contact with key decision makers, educate lawmakers and senior staff about your issues, and work with regulatory agencies to effect policy.
- Legislation. We develop viable legislative solutions, drafting bill language, proposing amendments, and shepherding legislation through the entire process from introduction to enactment.
- Budget items. We work with officials in the legislative and executive branches to secure state budget allocations and member items.
