State and Local Lobbying:

Influencing the decisions of government officials for our clients is key to the work that we do. Whether we're standing beside our client, or advocating on their behalf, we remain focused on policies, legislation, or regulations that are integral to each organization's interest.

Because of the experience of our team, we approach each issue and challenge separately. We're empathetic, sensing where there is great need. We value the work that our clients do and understand our own roles in this process. We always strive to learn and know more about the issues that are important to our clients, recognize the challenges that they face, try to find common ground, manage expectations, are creative in our problem-solving, and put all of our skills and talents to work for our clients, working smarter to great success.

Having insight into operations at a local level is just as important when clients interact with their local or county government daily. In some cases, those interactions may be even more impactful to organizations who work with C & G Strategies.

Each of our team members boasts decades of experience in government and uses that background to great effect for clients. No matter the issue or interest, C & G can provide clients with information, a deep understanding of the process they're navigating, observations relevant to their work, and solutions that may be unconventional. At the heart of all of that work is the client goals.
