As registered lobbyists, the Copper State Consulting Group team takes issues directly to lawmakers and policy officials. And when agendas require additional pressure, we pull from our arsenal of indirect lobbying tools.

Copper State helps clients get bills signed by the Governor or killed quietly prior to a committee hearing. In addition to administrative rules, we specialize in lobbying at the local levels of Arizona government including rural towns and counties like Casa Grande and Mohave County. And we help provide access to Arizona's congressional delegation when issues turn national.

Our focus is maintaining the positive relationships with elected and non-elected public officials and staff members that have taken years to develop - And having a former state legislator as our principal oftentimes sets us apart when it comes time to call on those relationships. We analyze the lay-of-the-land and determine what's real versus what's perceived so we don't waste time chasing red herrings. And we hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards possible.

We utilize a broad range of techniques to capture the hearts and minds of policymakers and influence the outcomes of public policy debate depending on strategic research and analysis. Some agendas call for diverse coalitions and ally organizations to weigh-in. Others call for grassroots mobilization and individual testimonials. And sometimes it means just standing guard on watch for harmful proposals.

We open doors for clients, guide them through the maze of Arizona's state and local politics, regulations and permits and get them where they need to go while preserving their good name and reputation.
