A Full Time Presence in Washington, D.C.

 

The importance of having a full-time presence in Washington, D.C. cannot be overstated.  Effective Federal representation requires the ability to not only navigate a complex and constantly changing political environment, but also to respond promptly and in person in order to meet the often unpredictable and unscheduled demands of government officials, Members of Congress and Capitol Hill staffers.   Furthermore, members of Congress often have to pick between competing constituencies – they can’t satisfy everyone 100% of the time – and they often have to prioritize the request of one constituent over another.  Members of Congress make their calculations based on who they are hearing from.  In fact, we have found time and again that the old adage is true: the squeaky wheel gets the grease.  With literally thousands of cities, counties, states, non-profit organizations, associations and companies fighting for limited time and attention, it is those that have strong relationships with key people in Washington, D.C. – and a constant presence in front of those people – that will be effective.
