Local GovernmentsOver the years, Jefferson Government Relations, LLC (Jefferson) has enjoyed a large practice with local governments, and continues to represent several today. Local governments, because of their public nature, require the added skill and expertise that Jefferson provides its city, county and regional authority clients when representing them before Congress and the Administration in Washington. Political sensibilities of these public entities require discreet and cost-effective federal representation - requirements that Jefferson more than meets in its work on behalf of its municipal and county clients. Jefferson is the ideal choice for local governments seeking federal representation. First, we possess extensive experience and expertise in the substantive areas of interest to local governments, including transportation, public health, and economic development. Second, we have excellent levels of access through our well-developed relationships with key decision-makers in Congress and in the appropriate departments and agencies of the Executive Branch. Third, our long experience in working with local government clients provides an understanding of how they work and how their needs relate to federal programs and priorities, and how best to advocate those needs in Washington. And finally, our record of achievements for local government clients is unparalleled, in terms of both policy and in securing over $1 billion in funding for client projects and priorities. |
