“I would recommend Legislative Strategies Group (LSG) as your ‘go to’ Lobbyists. They have the connections and the knowledge that make the process seamless—or as close to seamless as possible. They have helped NARPM® grow its federal footprint and impact exponentially. In just a few short years, we have gone from little presence on the Hill to having a seat at the table to influence issues important to us.”
