Our Services
Direct Lobbying
Term limits and campaign reform have changed the way businesses, trade associations, and local governments work with state government agencies and officials. We at SHJ&A successfully help clients achieve their advocacy goals through professional representation and a unique understanding of the legislative advocacy process. We provide lobbying efforts to shape legislation and regulations from conception through implementation. When necessary, we present testimony during committee hearings and stakeholder meetings to ensure our clients’ interests are taken into account in the development of measures impacting them.
Strategic Planning
SHJ&A helps clients identify their advocacy objectives and develop strategies to achieve them. We ensure that key governmental officials and their staff understand the policy and political implications underlying our clients’ goals, and when necessary, craft the message we want conveyed to the media and the public. When appropriate, we build and join coalitions of organizations that share similar objectives in order to advance our clients’ interests.
Budget Advocacy
Throughout the years, SHJ&A has developed superior expertise when it comes to state budget matters. With over 20 years of combined experience serving as top advisors in both the executive and legislative branch, our principals know how to effectively navigate the complex budget process to yield results for clients. It is often said that the annual state budget is the most important yet overlooked legislation. At SHJ&A, we never take our eye off of it.
Monitoring
Critical to success is being in the know before everyone else. We at SHJ&A provide comprehensive monitoring of elections and current events, as well as administrative, regulatory, and legislative actions so that clients are always abreast on the status of legislation or issues they care about. We review all bill introductions and amendments to ensure that clients understand how legislation might impact them.
