Issue Advocacy

Issue advocacy is a bedrock SPPG service.   When our founder Tom Slater was a State Senator for ten years, he realized with some sadness that regular folks most often have no idea how to advocate effectively.  Recognizing that important issues affecting real people often take a backseat to more glamorous ones, SPPG works with you to determine the best ways to develop and advance your agenda.  Whether it’s leveraging our huge contact list, training grassroots advocates, or developing an effective and unexpected strategy—we step up to become true policy entrepreneurs on your behalf.  Failing that, we egg cars in the Capitol parking lot and run.
