LOBBYING

LEGISLATIVE & EXECUTIVE BRANCH

Our approach is simple. We invest in clients, develop a comprehensive political strategy and bring our policy expertise and experience to achieve their goals. Through research, message development and targeted delivery, Leonine ensures our clients’ issues are top priorities for legislators, the media and the public. Leonine manages client issues in the legislature, governor’s office and throughout administrative agencies and departments. In Vermont, members of our statehouse team are veterans of virtually every public policy debate in recent state history.

DEVELOPMENT OF POLITICAL STRATEGY

WE LIKE TO WIN

In order to do so you must have the right political strategy. No issue is too small or too large for us to tackle. From the creation of the Vermont Housing and Conservation Board, the passage of first in the nation laws like civil unions and marriage equality to dealing with complex government contracts, knowing the players and the public as well as how to move the needle with them are the key to success. At Leonine, we know politics and we know strategy.
