We are founded on principles, morals, and ethics...Unlike many traditional lobbying firms, CEO & Founder of Ashlar Government Relations, Therese McGucken Hessler, believes in the issues and clients she and the firm represents.Frustrated after seeing the holes in the system first-hand due to a lack of communication between issue-based groups and varying political parties, McGucken Hessler decided to start Ashlar Government Relations . She believes in an approach separate from party lines and is passionate in working to make the lives of others better through policy change.That's what Ashlar Government Relations is all about. For a better state of mind. We are a firm that was created for the purpose of being able to stand in the middle, to be loud, and to make sure the things that really matter don't get lost between party lines.We are more than just a government relations firm.We are the change
