“Lobbyit.com have proven to be a perfect fit for our government relations needs. We have a small government relations department covering all of North America at the federal, state and local levels. Their ability to bring our issues before the proper stakeholders has been impressive. They have helped us prepare the proper talking points to make sure our story is told and our issue addressed. I would highly recommend Lobbyit.com to represent any private sector or nonprofit organization before the federal government.”
For example, a small town reliant on a nearby military base for jobs may want to hire a lobbyist to represent its interests during Base Realignment and Closure commission hearings, which have closed more than 350 installations between 1988 and today. Good advocacy by a lobbying firm can make the difference between a base in your community being closed or a base in another community without a lobbyist being closed.
In 2016, companies, interest groups, and others spent more than $3.12 billion on lobbying, employing more than 11,143 lobbyists to make their cases before lawmakers and regulatory authorities. If you’re in a competitive industry or are involved in advocacy on a potentially controversial issue, you can rest assured your rivals have someone in Washington or your state capital pleading their case. You need someone doing the same for you—but choosing the right someone is imperative.
