Three disciplines.
One firm.
Your issue is rarely just a bill. It is a statute that has to be drafted, a committee that has to be persuaded, and a business that has to keep operating while both happen. Most firms do one of the three. We do all three, and we do them in the same room: Lobby Washington for the policy and the politics, and Baldwin Legal Group, PLLC for the drafting and the legal analysis behind it.
Looking at 2027
The election is over. The session convenes on 11 January, and the work that decides it is happening now.
New members are arriving, committee rosters are being set, and bills do not carry over into the new biennium. Here is what has to happen before the gavel falls.
What we do
A complete government affairs program, delivered by one team.
From drafting the bill through sponsor recruitment, hearings, floor action, and agency implementation, plus the reporting, vote counts, and candidate access that decide whether any of it works.
Real-Time Bill Tracking
Continuous monitoring of bill movement, amendments, and hearings on a tracking platform supported by our AI analytics, with weekly custom reports through session.
Strategy & Bill Drafting
We draft the measure, recruit and educate bipartisan sponsors in both chambers, and move it through every stage of the process.
Vote Count & Member Education
A written vote count maintained through interim and session, so you always know where you stand and who is realistically gettable.
Candidate Engagement
A candidate event program no other firm in Olympia runs in this form: small, substantive lunches built around our clients, not around us.
Agency & Regulatory Work
So your bill arrives with agency input rather than agency objection, and rulemaking works in practice.
Defensive Advocacy
Monitoring and stopping legislation and rulemaking that would restrict your industry. A bill stopped is worth as much as a bill passed.
Results
We draft bills that pass, and we stop the ones that would hurt you.
Our bills have been carried by Republicans and by Democrats, and several passed without a single no vote in either chamber. In Olympia that is not a nicety. It is the difference between a bill that moves and a bill that never leaves committee.
HB 1789 · 2019
$37M a year
The largest fee increase in vehicle subagent history, a 65–80% increase for every subagent office in the state.
SB 5668 · 2019
The only one that year
We drafted and passed the only industry retail sales and use tax exemption enacted in Washington in 2019, for registered tow truck operators.
Capital gains · 2022
All real estate exempted
Exempted all real estate from the state capital gains tax, gathering 57 companies onto a single letter of support.
How we work
Our clients receive individualized, exceptional, and exclusive service.
We have the resources of a major consulting firm and extensively trained staff to support every client need, but no client is handed off to a junior bench. Every client gets a customized team: a lead lobbyist with primary responsibility, a second lobbyist working the issues day to day, and dedicated administrative support.
That structure means nothing falls through and several issues can be prioritized at once. We also partner closely with specialized lobbyists to extend the scope of our expertise and relationships at the Capitol.
Industries we represent
Rental and manufactured housing · commercial real estate · transportation and towing · trades and licensed professions · healthcare · non-profits and affordable housing.
And some we do for free
Each session we take a small number of pro bono matters for non-profits that could never afford a lobbyist. In 2025 that meant a $927,000 appropriation so a Tumwater cultural and job-training center could buy the building it was about to be priced out of.
Let's talk about your legislative priorities.
Whether you are heading into session with a bill to pass, a rule to change, or a threat to head off, we will tell you plainly what is achievable and what it will take.
