What We Do
Success in government affairs is based on the five Ps:
People, Policy, Procedure, Politics, and Perception.
Government Solutions Group brings a depth of experience developing, cultivating, and deeply understanding the role of each to best serve our clients’ needs and achieve their desired results.
Legislative
No one knows the legislative process like we do. Our strong relationships with those intimately involved help us advocate our client's position to influence the outcome of legislation. Whether it’s members of the General Assembly, legislative staff, the Office of the Governor, other constitutional officers, leaders in state agencies, or advocacy groups, we know who we need to collaborate with to promote or defeat legislative measures. Our client will always be represented and never be surprised.
We analyze, draft, and track legislative measures; lead or participate in complex negotiations; develop legislative ideas and strategies; prepare or deliver testimony; create information materials for legislators and staff; coordinate meetings with legislators, staff, advocacy groups, or other stakeholders; conduct roll calls; and help with coalition building. We navigate the legislative process for you and help you develop the relationships you need to achieve your goals.
Budgetary
Government budgets are usually limited in the resources available to all. We understand the highly competitive appropriations process and work hard to secure the necessary funding opportunities our client’s desire.
Regulatory & Administrative
Government programs and funding can be tremendous assets to the success of any organization. We have experience developing, implementing, and administering the programmatic resources of the executive branch. We know how procurement, granting, capital funding, economic development, licensing, permitting, rulemaking, and administrative law work. We will use that knowledge and experience to guide the client through the bureaucracy to the desired result.
Issue Advocacy
We know sometimes the best possible result for a client is to create awareness, educate decision makers and deliver lasting messages. Whatever the client needs, we provide the necessary guidance. We develop effective communication strategies. We build grassroots campaigns. We enhance public understanding of what you do and what you need.
