Navigating the corridors of power
Providence Strategies is a government relations firm based in Annapolis. Our registered lobbyists represent clients before the Maryland General Assembly, state agencies, and county and municipal governments, as well as the Council of the District of Columbia and the Delaware General Assembly.
Our government relations team brings decades of combined experience working with state agencies, county governments, and local boards. We build and maintain the relationships that move your agenda forward.
In Maryland, the relationships that move legislation are built long before a bill is introduced. Our team works in Annapolis year-round, a block from the State House, and maintains strong relationships with legislators, committee staff, and agency leaders throughout the year. When the General Assembly convenes each January for its 90-day session, our clients arrive with those relationships already in place and an agenda ready to advance. Beyond Maryland, we represent clients before the Council of the District of Columbia and the Delaware General Assembly, giving organizations that operate across the region a single, coordinated voice.

Frequently asked questions.
What does a government relations firm do?
We represent your organization before elected officials, government agencies, and their staff. That work includes monitoring the legislation and regulations that affect you, presenting your position to decision-makers, and building the relationships that give you a voice before decisions are made.
Do you work outside of Maryland?
Yes. Maryland is our home and our primary focus, and we also represent clients in Washington, D.C., and Delaware. This is especially valuable for organizations whose issues extend across the region.
When should we engage a lobbying firm?
Ideally, well before the legislative session begins. The Maryland General Assembly convenes in January and adjourns in April, and positions, sponsors, and priorities take shape in the months leading up to it. Engaging in the summer or fall allows you to enter the session fully prepared.
