"Government Relations"

• Have you run into a stone wall with a government regulatory agency and can’t get anyone to be reasonable?

• Are your operations hampered by some silly law that should be changed?

• Could you be more competitive if only given a level playing field?

Getting government officials to act favorably toward your issue, is sometimes the only solution to achieve your desired goals. If you need the involvement of elected officials to accomplish targeted objectives, Relations Inc. can help. Working with elected officials from state, local and/or federal governments, we can create strong advocates for your issues. If you are unable to reach your objectives without action by state legislators, or Federal elected officials, we have the experience, and insight to help you find your way through the bureaucratic maze. We have designed and implemented many direct lobbying efforts on major issues at both the state and Federal levels. During these campaigns, we have successfully lobbied for our clients on multi-million dollar issues. We work with our clients planning the "nuts and bolts" of an effective lobbying strategy. Then either alone, or with the client, we implement that strategy working with the appropriate state or federal elected officials.

"Lobbying," in its purest form, is nothing more than providing legislators with information about the issues at hand. To provide this information effectively, however, requires that your arguments are persuasive, logical and easily understood. Relations Inc. has considerable skills at taking an issue and boiling it down to a few succinct points. Elected officials cannot be expected to be experts on the myriad of issues that they are asked to vote on each and every day. Therefore, they use lobbyist to obtain information on both sides of an issue. Then, they can make an informed decision, and vote responsibly. One of the strengths of Relations Inc. is our ability to take technical issues, or other complicated matters, and distill them down to a few easily understood, and easy to relate talking points. If you plan on getting the attention and support of the elected official you must present your messages briefly, while ensuring that they are relevant and eye opening.

Finally, we have worked for years with state legislators and Federal elected officials. In doing so, we have established and maintained relationships with relevant members of Congress and state legislators. In addition to direct lobbying, we have worked with public policy groups like the American Legislative Exchange Council and the National Conference of State Legislators to influence policy positions and to strengthen relationships with these legislators.
