OUR SERVICES
Advocacy
Legislative Advocacy
CPRA Strategies is a California-registered lobbying firm based in Sacramento. We provide direct lobbying in the State Capitol, before Congress, and before local city and county boards. Drawing on 18 years of relationships and experience navigating the legislative process, we create positive results for our clients. We also provide bill analysis and recommendations on positions to take on legislation that may directly or indirectly affect your organization and industry.
Budget Advocacy
CPRA Strategies has secured over $200 million in state budget allocations, congressional appropriations, and grants for clients. We understand the nuances of California's budget process and the congressional appropriations process, and will apply our relationships and expertise to maximize your chances of receiving discretionary and formula funding for operating and capital improvement budgets.
Regulatory Advocacy
CPRA Strategies advocates before regulatory agencies during the rulemaking process and on administrative matters that affect your organization and industry. We have experience before the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CalPERS), State Personnel Board (SPB), Board of Equalization (BOE), and other bodies with their own governing authority. We can prepare comment letters on proposed regulations, talking points, and fact sheets tailored to the agency and your organization.
Procurement
We have significant experience guiding clients through the procurement process at all levels of government. We have successfully secured over $100 million in government contracts for minority-, women-, and disabled-veteran-owned businesses and nonprofits. We can assist with every step of the process — from procurement planning and bid strategy to proposal development, bid submission, and award. We have successfully defended against bid protests and resolved operational challenges to preserve expiring contracts and secure extensions.
Lobby Days at the State Capitol
CPRA Strategies facilitates lobby days in Sacramento and fly-ins to Washington, D.C. for clients of all sizes. We schedule meetings with elected officials and their staff, legislative and budget committee staff, and key executive branch officials. We also arrange meeting spaces, catering, and lobby day training.
California Bill Tracking
On average, California lawmakers introduce over 2,000 new pieces of legislation and approve billions in spending each year. We use Real Time GOVT, a California legislative intelligence platform, to track newly introduced and amended legislation relevant to your organization and industry.
