Senior state strategy. A clearer view of what matters.
Rob Shrum leads senior coordination on state issues: strategy and sequencing, witness and stakeholder preparation, coalitions and communications. Nexus works alongside a client’s team and any retained lobbyists, with responsibilities defined for each engagement. Intelligence supports the work and is also offered on its own.
Official-source checking, with source cutoffs and coverage gaps stated. One strategist accountable for the work.
Too much ground, not enough people.
State government affairs teams cover more ground than they can staff. A portfolio of dozens or hundreds of bills moves faster than a small team can read. An issue can turn up in many states at once. And leadership expects an answer the same morning. The usual options each leave a gap.
Senior issue coordination, with intelligence behind it.
When an issue involves several states, lobbyists, coalition partners or witnesses, keeping that work aligned is its own job. Rob leads that coordination with your team. A client can keep its own tracking and engage the coordination, or engage the intelligence on its own: focused legislative tracking, state intelligence or stakeholder work.
