Our Story

Sloat Higgins Jensen and Associates (SHJ&A) is a comprehensive governmental advocacy and consulting firm based in Sacramento. Founded over 25 years ago, SHJ&A has risen to become one of California’s premiere lobbying firms. SHJ&A is proud to have an exceptional advocacy team supporting a diverse client base. Our uniquely qualified professionals have decades of combined experience working on in the Executive branch, regulatory agencies and both sides of the State legislature.

Term limits, campaign reform, and the sheer pace of activity in modern day politics have changed the way businesses, trade associations and local governments operate in, and around, the Capitol. Successful governmental advocacy today requires extensive political and policy knowledge, strategic thinking, and strong communication skills. SH&AJ utilizes each of these skill sets every day in advancing clients’ interests and advocacy goals.

Adopting a “team approach,” SHJ&A ensures that appropriate officials and staff understand the policy and political implications of clients’ goals, and works with communication professionals to market clients’ interests to both the media and the public. Also adept at coalition building, SHJ routinely collaborates with other organizations and advocates who share similar legislative objectives.
