About Us

We combine subject-matter expertise with strong bipartisan relationships to deliver results. We have successfully represented many different industries, businesses, private organizations, and non-profits, and our relationships with key lawmakers and stakeholders let us advocate vigorously for our clients throughout session and beyond.

One firm, one team, on every issue

We have the resources of a major consulting firm and extensively trained staff to help with all client needs, and our clients still receive individualized, exceptional, and exclusive service. Every client has a customized team including a lead lobbyist with primary responsibility, a second lobbyist working the issues day to day, and an administrative support staff member, so that all aspects are covered and multiple issues can be prioritized simultaneously.

A wider bench when you need it

We partner closely with specialized lobbyists to increase the scope of our expertise and relationships. Each member of our team brings distinct strengths, and together we offer a complete package across strategy, direct lobbying, bill drafting, bill tracking, agency work, and client communication.

Bipartisan because the arithmetic demands it

We are not a Republican firm or a Democratic firm, and a client who hires us on the theory that we will go argue their politics has hired the wrong firm. Washington has been governed by Democratic majorities in both chambers for years. A firm that can only talk to the minority cannot get a hearing scheduled, let alone a bill passed. A firm that only talks to the majority has no fallback when the majority changes, and no credibility with the members who will write the floor amendments.

So we work both. Our bills have been prime-sponsored by Republicans (Rep. April Connors, Rep. Andrew Barkis, and Sen. Mike Padden) and by Democrats (Sen. Jessica Bateman, Sen. Claudia Kauffman, Sen. Yasmin Trudeau, and Sen. Mark Mullet). Several of those bills passed without a single no vote in either chamber. We choose a sponsor the way you would choose anyone for a job: on who can actually do it.

The same applies to our candidate program. We host lunches for members of both caucuses, and we do it because a client is better served by a legislator who already understands their business than by one meeting them for the first time in a hearing room.

Pro bono

Each session we take on a small number of matters for non-profits that could never afford a lobbyist and would otherwise have no way into the capital budget process. In 2025 that was the ASHHO Cultural Community Center in Tumwater, a cultural center and culinary job-training program that was being priced out of its rented space. We built and carried the request, and the Legislature appropriated $927,000 so ASHHO could buy the building. That work gets the same team and the same effort as a paying engagement.
