Governmental Affairs / Lobbying

Every day someone is making a decision or debating an issue that could have a profound effect on your business. Your state legislature enacts a significant number of new laws—or changes existing laws—every year.

In 2007 alone, more than 1,100 bills were newly introduced in Iowa. Whether or not one of these bills ever reaches the Governor’s desk depends on the degree of support or opposition generated by interested parties.

Our elected officials cannot possibly be experts on every issue. Instead, they rely on staff members, researchers and trusted individuals to educate them so they can make informed decisions. Without this trusted network, legislators would find it difficult if not impossible to gain a necessary understanding of the impact a bill might have on any particular industry.

The solution is clear—in order to have meaningful input on issues important to you, it is imperative to have a presence in the State Capitol. Retaining a lobbyist to represent your interests is the most effective way to deliver your message and protect your interests.
