Advocacy Partner
Christopherson Advocates is intentionally targeted in our role as government relations and lobbying professionals. Our role is to work with you at the Capitol, with government agencies, and with other constituents to drive results. Every client and every issue is different, but a trusted and fair voice working on your behalf opens doors and delivers positive outcomes in a time- and cost-efficient manner.
Government Relations
The impact of decisions made at the Capitol can have dramatic and long-lasting impact on business, and without a seat at the table your organization can be left behind. Working with a government relations expert not only gives you that access to decision makers but lends a strategic voice to shape policy in a way that supports your business needs and goals. As the external lobbying arm of your business, we connect you with legislators, their staff, agency representatives, and like-minded organizations that are working towards the same goal. We are your eyes and ears at the Capitol with the deep understanding of how legislation is drafted with the follow through experience to get it passed.

Relationship Development
Our lobbying efforts are based on connections. But we don’t feel that connections need to be held close to the vest. Rather we aim to share relationships with our clients so that they can collaborate with others in related fields. Over 90% of Christopherson Advocates’ clients have developed new working relationships since introduction through our firm, which serves to benefit all involved. This value-added service is a cornerstone in our business philosophy, that connecting people is of utmost importance not only for government relations but for overall business growth.
Professional Services
Though our focus is on government relations and advocacy, we also work closely with other professional service firms who add value to Christopherson Advocates’ clients by providing public policy consulting and legislative tracking services.
