Practice  —  Government Relations & Lobbying Firms

Substantiating the argument before it is heard.

Firms are hired for judgment and access. They are retained on evidence. Alt-30 serves as the analytical function behind government relations practices, testing positions against the empirical record and preparing the exhibits that carry a firm's own name into committee — in a single statehouse or across every state a practice covers.

The Situation

Committees have grown
harder to persuade.

Legislative staff now arrive at hearings with fiscal notes, agency data, and the capacity to check a claim in the time it takes to make one. A position advanced on assertion is corrected in public; a position advanced on the record is not.

Few firms can carry that analytical weight in-house, and fewer clients will pay for it directly.

Alt-30 is retained to close that gap — a research function shared across the practices that need it, maintained on identical methodology in every state, at a fraction of the cost of building one.

01
An Analytical Function on CallA standing relationship gives the firm access to econometric models of workforce, tax, and budget data across all covered states, without adding headcount or carrying an analyst between sessions.
02
Positions Tested in AdvanceWe examine a policy argument against the record before it reaches committee. Where a claim will not hold, the firm learns it in advance of the hearing rather than during it.
03
Delivered Under Your NameExhibits, briefs, and model output are prepared for the firm to present as its own work. The client sees the firm's capability; our involvement need not appear.
04
No Conflict IntroducedAlt-30 holds no lobbying registrations in any state and advocates for no legislation. Bringing us into an engagement raises no conflict, whatever the client roster or the coalition.
How We Serve Firms

The work,
as it is actually used.

Relationships are structured around the legislative calendar: continuous monitoring between sessions, rapid response during them, and prepared material when a client or a committee asks for it.

01
Committee Exhibits
Sourced, footnoted analysis formatted for the hearing room. Each figure traces to an official filing and is prepared to hold under adverse questioning.
Session Support
02
Workforce & Tax Monitoring
Continuous tracking of employment, wage, and tax movement across the districts and municipalities a client's interests touch, in whichever states they operate, reported as it occurs.
Continuous Intelligence
03
Position Review
A policy claim submitted for examination against the record. We return what the evidence supports, what it does not, and the formulation that survives scrutiny.
Pre-Testimony
04
Client-Facing District Briefs
Local economic briefs issued under the firm's letterhead — substantive work product that reaches the client between legislative outcomes.
White-Label
05
Rapid-Response Memoranda
A bill advances, an amendment appears, a fiscal note surprises the room. Retained firms receive same-cycle analysis while the question is still open.
During Session
06
Strategic Intelligence Portal
A dedicated, access-controlled portal holding district economics, municipal tax tracking, and agency budget flows for the firm's states — current before the client asks.
Retained Relationship

Begin with a jurisdiction
your clients care about.

We will prepare a brief on a district or municipality of your choosing, in any state we cover, without fee — so the firm can judge the work on its substance. Confidential and non-partisan.
