A New Breed of Washington Lobbyists

Since the first lobbyists staked out politicians in a Washington hotel lobby, the lobbying industry has been portrayed (fairly) as existing only for the elite. Large corporations and their high priced representation have a stranglehold on the Capitol. The voices of most Americans are drowned out in a sea of money. The Founders never intended the government to work like this. Our elected representatives were intended to be available "for the redress of grievances by all Americans."

The average Federal lobbyist charges tens of thousands of dollars per month! In addition, their vague, expensive offerings are generally tied to annual, inflexible contracts. This exorbitant pricing structure allows only a select few to have access to their elected leaders. Most businesses, associations, municipalities, and non-profit organizations can't afford this representation and, as a result, they aren't represented in Washington, DC.

Not being part of the conversation can cost these groups millions of dollars and, in some cases, their very right to exist. Every day, decisions are made inside the Beltway which have dramatic effects on the people who make America work. Keys to the Capitol was formed to take back the lobbying industry. We provide basic and transparent services starting at just $995 per month. Our entire practice is structured to provide a voice to those who have been silent for too long.

Our practice doesn't stop there. We recognize that what happens at the Capitol doesn't happen in a vacuum. Politicians, lawmakers, and regulators read the newspaper, listen to the radio, and hear from constituents. They see letters to the editor and record the local news from their hometowns. If you want to get on a lawmaker's radar, you have to play on their home turf.

That's where Keys to the Capitol Public Relations comes in. Lobbying and public relations have a great deal of overlap, yet many firms consider them two separate and distinct practices. We're different. We have a suite of public relations services, again starting at just $995 a month, which are designed to complement your lobbying efforts. The combination gives you a voice on Capitol Hill and makes sure that voice is heard where it matters most.

Keys to the Capitol's new breed of lobbyists and PR professionals know the United States is supposed to be a government of the people and for the people. Let us help you get the most from your elected officials.
