Capitol Solutions’ modern structure is evidenced in our comprehensive representation that ranges from traditional lobbying and policy development to proactive public relations and communication, political fundraising and more. We also have the breadth to customize our services to meet specific client needs and always deliver a competitive edge in legislative decision-making and political arenas.

Legislative Lobbying for Federal, State & Local Government

Since 1992, our lobbying team has developed strong and trustworthy government relationships with key people of the old guard and the new breed. From local officials, members of the Colorado legislature and the state’s administration, to members of congress and federal agencies, Capitol Solutions brings its clients a broad sphere of influence. Our reputation as a leader of the modern lobbying firm bolsters our effectiveness and ensures that our clients’ interests are heard every time. Back to top

Proactive Initiation of Priority Legislation

Capitol Solutions will provide the necessary skill and use our bi-partisan relationships to effectively maneuver all client initiated legislation through the legislative process. From securing strong sponsors and ensuring their confidence with the issue to directly lobbying members of committees of reference in both houses and the entire body, Capitol Solutions will “count the votes” to ensure passage of the legislation.

Reactive/Defensive Lobbying

Success in the legislative arena is measured not only by the strategic passage of legislation, but also by the effectiveness of your strategic defense – defeating harmful proposals, amending them to your favor, exempting the industry out of the proposal, preempting efforts, encouraging a change of heart, and mobilizing your grassroots. Through our rigorous internal monitoring program, we will ensure that no issue of impact escapes your consideration. Back to top

GrassRoots and GrassTops Development and Mobilization

In the age of term limits, where politicians are very receptive to their constituencies, grassroots initiatives are an essential component of the political process. Acknowledging grassroots efforts as a key part of political decision-making allows us to identify effective grassroots opportunities and coordinate plans that mobilize, educate and empower the people and organizations that can work together to influence government.

Boards & Commissions Placement

Boards and Commissions often conduct critical research and provide recommendations that create public policy. State appointments to these boards can be a valuable achievement for our clients or client allies, who can then serve as a voice for specific interests. We are continually reviewing available appointments and work to help our clients obtain these positions when available. Back to top
