Advice. Education. Action. Results. At M+R, we have the resources and experience needed to help public interest advocates make their issues count in Congress. Through in-depth planning, relationship-building, and a focus on results, we help make Capitol Hill more predictable for clients.
M+R employs lobbyists who know how to move fast—and strike hard. Our team has been described as “tenacious” for a reason: we assess a situation, swing into action, and immediately engage Members of Congress and the Administration on some of the most critical issues of the day, from ending the genocide in Darfur, Sudan, to preventing media consolidation, to winning significant federal dollars for public health initiatives, and more.
Our Step by Step Process
Our top-notch lobbyists have the resources and reputation to form strategic partnerships on behalf of non-profit clients. But we also know from years of experience that developing a clear long-term policy agenda can sustain an organization through the challenges of fickle political maneuvering and competition on the Hill.
We work with every client to develop a tailored policy agenda by:
- Listening to a client’s goals;
- Helping a client understand how those goals fit into a larger policy context;
- Developing short, medium, and long-term objectives;
- Framing the message and the issue in a contemporary way that resonates in Congress;
- Carving out a meaningful niche for an organization;
- Identifying natural allies from among other organizations and coalitions; and
- Conducting meaningful and deliberate federal lobbying.
With more than 15 years on the Hill, we are able to tap the skills, knowledge and abilities of likeminded organizations and allies in public health, education, the environment, consumer issues, human rights, aging and senior issues, agriculture, and more, bringing together common interests and shared agendas to advance our clients and their causes. And with headquarters in Washington, DC, and nine regional offices from coast-to-coast, our skilled lobbyists cultivate and renew relationships with legislators and allies at all levels of government.
