With decades of experience and an extensive network of contacts, our lobbying team is ready to address a wide range of political and governmental challenges. GCS can design and execute a comprehensive strategy to help your organization succeed in its policy and messaging goals, both by advancing the beneficial and by suppressing the negative. Oftentimes these activities work hand-in-hand, and we will guide you through the process to attain the desired outcomes.
Policy Monitoring & Reporting
GCS utilizes legislative resources and technology to ensure that we stay current on all upcoming hearings, meetings, proposed legislation and amendments, as well as any major agency rule makings that may impact our clients. We provide written and/or oral reports to our clients throughout the legislative session and in the interim as needed.
Bill Drafting & Process Mgmt
GCS will work with you to realize your legislative goals. We start with a concept and translate that into legislation that we will usher through the process. By working closely with legislators, staff, and stakeholders that either support or oppose your concept, we will advance your idea each step of the way. This includes developing and refining informational materials, written and oral testimony, rulemaking comments, and other materials as needed.
