Shaping policy that drives real change
Policy advocacy translates an organization's mission into clear positions and builds the coalitions and public support needed to advance them in Annapolis, in Maryland's counties and cities, and before the D.C. Council.
We help organizations translate their mission into policy positions and advocate effectively across every level of government. Our approach combines deep subject matter expertise with strategic grassroots and grasstops engagement.
Policy in Maryland is shaped in county councils, municipal boards, state agencies, and public opinion, often long before an issue reaches a hearing room. We help organizations define clear policy positions, build coalitions with aligned partners, and mobilize the members, employees, and community leaders whose voices give those positions weight. Whether your issue is decided in Annapolis, a county seat, or the D.C. Council, we design each campaign to suit the setting.

Frequently asked questions.
Who do you advocate before?
We advocate before the Maryland General Assembly, state agencies, and county and municipal governments across Maryland, as well as the Council of the District of Columbia and Delaware's legislature. We go wherever the decisions that affect you are made.
What is coalition building, and why does it matter?
Legislators give weight to broad support. A position backed by trade associations, chambers of commerce, nonprofits, and employers carries more influence than one organization can carry alone. We identify natural allies and help organize their support.
Do you work with nonprofits and associations?
Yes. Associations, chambers of commerce, and nonprofits are a core part of our practice, alongside our private-sector clients.
