What Rostrum can do for you

Legislative Advocacy

Rostrum guides clients through all aspects of the legislative process. This includes the drafting of position letters, background materials, legislative language, and amendments; policy research, analysis, and expert testimony; preparation of legislative updates; organization of Lobby Days; grassroots development and coalition building; and direct lobbying of the Legislature on legislative and budget-related items. 

Political Action Committee / Political Consulting

An effective political strategy requires a thorough understanding of California’s political environment. The Rostrum team continuously monitors statewide and legislative races, ballot initiatives, and related political trends to help clients to make informed decisions regarding PAC operations and political contributions.

Regulatory Advocacy

As a significant portion of the policymaking process occurs outside the State Capitol, Rostrum helps clients navigate the regulatory process by monitoring and participating in stakeholder workshops and meetings with state departments. Though this, Rostrum ensures that rule-making and policy implementation is consistent with legislative intent and in consideration of client concerns.

Procurement

Identifying and connecting private clients with opportunities within state Departments and Agencies to help the administration fulfil their goals through the solutions and technologies provided by the client.

Crisis Management

Rostrum prioritizes strategy because in high-stakes situations, the best strategy usually wins. We guide clients through the most difficult of times with urgency, styled and implemented as a campaign that is focused on a clear, decisive outcome.

Multi-State Strategy

Through political relationships and personal correspondence, Rostrum can help clients replicate a successful California policy achievement in other states or stop a harmful legislative trend before it takes hold nationwide. The team has extensive experience working with multi-state legislative organizations such as the National Conference of State Legislators, Women in Government, and the Council of State Government. These organizations provide businesses, non-profits, and trade associations a platform to engage with legislators from multiple states in a cost-effective way. Rostrum can help your team effectively engage these organizations and build critical relationships with key legislators nationwide to help achieve your policy goals.
