Lobbying
Legislative Lobbying – We craft winning legislative strategies, and keep you informed from bill conception to enactment. Among decades of successes, a more recent achievement is our development and passage of the first gas cylinder EPR bill in the country.
Administrative Lobbying – Navigate the regulatory process with the help of our experienced team. We expertly monitor and advocate for your interests and work with agency officials to change, propose, or block proposed regulations.
Municipal Lobbying – Our municipal lobbying services build on strong relationships with local officials to represent your interests. By monitoring local legislation and ordinances and providing strategic guidance, our firm was able to intervene and stall the approval of a large-scale development.
Media Advocacy
Media campaigns are an effective way to strategically amplify your voice and control your branding. We develop clear and compelling messaging, leverage our extensive media contacts, and employ in-house web development to meet your needs. Regular media monitoring ensures we stay ahead of the curve and measure campaign effectiveness. In 2021, Hughes & Cronin organized a week-long public relations campaign for a client to recruit school bus drivers, which culminated with a press conference held in partnership with the Commissioners and staff of the Department of Motor Vehicles and the Department of Education.
