Capitol Government Affairs, LLC

Introduction

In 1996, I began working for Gov. Don Siegelman of Alabama focusing on legislative and fundraising issues. In 2000, I worked for Gov. Jim Hodges of South Carolina focusing on similar issues. Since then, I successfully represented non-profit organizations and major domestic and European corporations at the federal and state levels of government. I advised clients on federal and state issues including appropriations, health care, education, defense, internet safety, federal drug policy, homeland security and law enforcement issues.

Recommendations

  • "I've been working with Rick for over ten years. Rick and his firm, Capitol Government Affairs, were a godsend for our startup business. After hiring a high priced and well known public affairs firm, we had little progress in getting in to see various hill staffers, commissions and agencies. After working with Rick for just a couple of weeks we were seeing chiefs of staff within major congressional offices and could get virtually any meeting with the commissions we needed to reach. Capitol Government Affairs had exactly the kind of experience in both the telecommunications and blockchain space we needed. I highly recommend his firm." - Jeff Turner, CEO, Crypteriat Foundation

    Biography

    In 1996, while a second year law student, I got involved in the political process. I began working on the Siegelman for Governor campaign raising over 9 million dollars and unseating an incumbent governor. Since then, I worked with Governors, Members of Congress, and state legislators. I successfully represented non-profit organizations and major domestic and European corporations at the federal and state levels of government. In 2002, I joined the Charles Consulting Group, LLC as the Vice President of Government Affairs. I represented numerous clients with divergent interests and specialized in federal appropriations. During my tenure with the Charles Group, I had a 100% success rate with all clients seeking federal appropriations. Additionally, I advised clients on health care, education, defense, internet safety, drug policy, homeland security and law enforcement issues as well as the development and implementation of grassroots advocacy strategies. I also advised clients in Virginia, Ohio and Idaho on bail related issues affecting the commercial bail industry. I hold a J.D. from The Thomas Goode Jones School of Law and a B.A. from The University of North Carolina.
