STATE & LOCAL GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS We utilize a modern approach to lobbying that is informed by experience shepherding legislation as a legislative staffer, as well as managing teams of lobbyists, communications, and campaign professionals as a client. Successfully advancing a client's interests requires full control of the legislative process, Capitol culture, and the personalities that make things happen. Maintaining genuine relationships, demonstrating a mastery of the policy issues you represent, and leading well-coordinated coalitions are all necessary for delivering consistent results. Whether it’s strategizing and executing a long-term policy agenda, quietly shaping policies to protect your interests, or joining existing team to ensure results, we will help you get there. REGULATORY CONSULTING & ADVOCACY HGA provides to its clients a turnkey experience on a wide array of regulatory issues. We offer relationships with key officials and agency staff, strategic advice in the crafting of comment letters and legal filings, testimony at public proceedings, and the public affairs tactics that influence outcomes. Our regulatory advocacy has been shaped by years of work on high-stakes rule makings before various state agencies, boards, and departments. Beyond tracking developments, we coordinate well-crafted intervention in the complex regulatory process, from mobilizing elected officials and the public to intervene to debating compromises of significant consequence and long-term implications. POLITICAL STRATEGY & ISSUE CAMPAIGNS California’s biggest issues are taken directly to the voters one way or another. HGA has experience turning existential political battles into successful ballot measure campaigns, and led a top-tier political engagement program with candidate contributions and building strategies for multi-million dollar independent expenditure campaigns. We pair great political instincts and technical know-how with exceptional work ethic and execution.
