Hill Leadership
The Hill Team brings expertise and strategic acumen to shape strategy, build alliances, and drive effective advocacy on both sides of the aisle through direct Capitol Hill engagement.
Beyond the Beltway
The Regional Team cultivates relationships among local, regional, and state chambers, association partners, and businesses large and small to show support for pro-growth legislation in the communities that Members of Congress represent.
Relationship Building
Central to the work of the Government Affairs Team is building stronger relationships with members of Congress that foster trust, support decision-making, enhance credibility and expertise, and promote collaboration to enable effective long-term legislative and political success.
