Jessica Dunker

In addition to being a tenacious lobbyist, who is willing to put in the "relationship-building work" required to first educate legislators on complex topics, and then convince them to take (or stop) actions that are in the best interest of our members, Eric is a thoughtful and valued partner to our organization. Since becoming his client, the Iowa Restaurant Association has found ourselves in the enviable position of at least one "win" per state legislative session. Our staff, Board and members often consult him in areas beyond advocacy issues. He is a trusted advisor for media and public messaging, communication strategies, and building coalitions.

I have found Eric to be an excellent strategist who has built relationships with members of both parties. He is a person of integrity who is very persistent in achieving his clients' short- and long-term goals.

Randy TenPas

Eric has been the backbone behind Iowa Association of Christian Schools (IACS.) His leadership skills has made the organization grow, his ingenuity has made our organization stronger and communication skills made our organization prominent. As a consultant he is constantly coming up with new ideas and as a lobbyist he has made great connections to help pass laws. I strongly recommend Eric to help your business needs.
