As Associate Staff Secretary for President Obama, I had to know something about everything, ensuring that national security, economic, and domestic policy officials could agree on the language in memoranda that would go in the President’s briefing book by deadline. I developed a bird’s-eye view of the inner workings of the West Wing.

In my career in government and law, I have taken that same approach, constantly keeping tabs on the policy and political environment as it rapidly develops. In the modern media environment, politicians, non-profits, and corporations are expected to weigh in on national topics as soon as they arise. Strategic decisions, communications, policy, and rapid response have melded.

The question is no longer how politicians and organizations communicate their policies, but what their policies communicate about them. Any delay in developing a thorough policy response to an emerging issue can appear as indifference to communities, customers, and constituencies. This pressure is not just national: local campaigns and small businesses are now expected to share their policy beliefs on an ever expanding set of issues. Most cannot afford to hire an army of professionals to learn about an issue, develop strategic communications and a policy platform reflective of their values.

I do that work for you, quickly and affordably. As a civil rights litigator, I write lengthy, considered appellate briefs and prepare for trial overnight, just as I did working in Big Law. As a consultant, I advise federal, state, and local campaigns and elected officials, drafting everything from lengthy policy memos and legislative proposals to talking points and tweets.

Whether you need to understand the inner workings of the highest levels of government developed in the halls of the West Wing, a detailed policy proposal, or help drafting a tweet at 11 p.m. to respond to an emerging news cycle, we will ensure you meet your goals.
