Our partners have spent careers inside the institutions most people only read about: Congress, state legislatures, federal agencies, the Department of Homeland Security, and the national associations that shape policy from the outside. That experience makes for useful conversation, whether the audience is a ballroom of industry executives or a morning drive-time radio host with four minutes to fill.
Every member of our team is an experienced speaker, comfortable at the podium and in front of a camera. We regularly deliver keynotes, sit on panels, moderate discussions, and brief boards. We also appear on television and radio, join podcasts, give interviews to newspapers and trade publications, and contribute guest columns. Former Congressman Dennis Cardoza has addressed audiences ranging from the Milken Institute Global Conference to statewide water summits, and wrote “Cardoza’s Corner” for The Hill’s Congress blog.
We bring the same approach to a speaking engagement that we bring to client work: plain language, honest assessments, and a bipartisan perspective that is increasingly hard to find. Audiences leave knowing what is actually likely to happen and what they can do about it.

From federal reimbursement to behavioral health funding, health policy decisions land directly on hospital balance sheets. Our partners helped craft major national health legislation and have represented inpatient and behavioral hospitals and their associations. They can speak to what is coming out of Washington and how health systems can position themselves ahead of it.
Water and agriculture policy in the West is rarely simple and never quiet. With decades of experience on the House Agriculture Committee, in water rights advocacy, and on the conference circuit for water agencies and family farm groups, our partners offer practical insight on supply, regulation, and the federal and state politics that sit behind both.
Our team includes former senior leaders from the Department of Homeland Security and the defense community, alongside veterans of the appropriations process. Topics include the defense procurement landscape, how security service providers can compete for federal work, and how to build credible federal and state appropriations requests.
Endangered species rules, transportation funding formulas, energy development, and climate strategy all share one feature: the outcome is often decided in appropriations and agency rulemaking long before the headlines arrive. Our partners explain how these processes actually work and where stakeholders still have room to shape them.
Some of the most valuable advice involves situations organizations hope never to face, and opportunities they may not know exist. Our partners speak on preparing for and responding to congressional investigations, pursuing federal and state grant funding, and developing political giving and PAC strategies that are effective, compliant, and defensible.
Government is a regulator, a customer, and occasionally a competitor. Our partners help business audiences understand all three. Topics include aligning company strategy with government priorities, go-to-market strategies for start-ups entering regulated or government-adjacent markets, and the practical realities of government contracting.
