Public Affairs & 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. We also provide bill analysis and recommendations on positions to take on legislation that may directly or indirectly affect your organization and industry.

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.

CPRA Strategies advocates before regulatory agencies during the rulemaking process and on administrative matters that affect your organization and industry. We can prepare comment letters on proposed regulations, talking points, and fact sheets tailored to the agency and your organization.

We have significant experience guiding clients through the procurement process at all levels of government. CPRA Strategies 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.

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.

On average, California lawmakers introduce over 2,000 new pieces of legislation and approve billions in spending each year. We use Real Time GOV, a California legislative intelligence platform, to track newly introduced and amended legislation relevant to your organization and industry.
