The City of Plano hired Lobbyit in the Spring of 2012 with the goal of increasing our presence in DC. The value of our new relationship was quickly evident when we were successful in getting a bill on a critical issue passed through Congress. Paul and Nile have proven to have strong relationships with staff, committees, Congressmen and Senators and are focused on building long term relationships. Their team is attentive and responsive to the City’s information needs and agenda and our increased presence in DC is due in large part to the assistance of Lobbyit.
