Date: August 24th, 2026 11:01 AM Author: Violent Crusty Haunted Graveyard School Cafeteria After college wasn’t ready for real world so took LSAT and GRE and did a joint JD/MPA program at my good but not elite state school. Always interested in politics and policy, like most lawyers, but didn’t really care about practicing. Tuition was cheap enough with family help and a scholarship I had little debt.
Graduated in 4 years and got one of those PMF federal government jobs. Worked in policy then transitioned to a legal role at an agency and then on the Hill. Eventually left for a trade association and now lead lobbying for a member of that association.
400k-ish comp depending on bonus each year. |

Date: August 24th, 2026 11:14 AM Author: obsidian meetinghouse background story do you use legistorm for contact data? if not do you manage contacts in-house of all the staffers.
|
|
Date: August 24th, 2026 11:15 AM Author: Violent Crusty Haunted Graveyard School Cafeteria We use another software
Legistorm is good to look someone up though |
|
Date: August 24th, 2026 11:17 AM Author: obsidian meetinghouse background story what is it?
also any experience with quorum? tons of orgs are leaving it right now due to their pricing. |
|
Date: August 24th, 2026 11:24 AM Author: Violent Crusty Haunted Graveyard School Cafeteria lol that’s what we use and it’s price is not justified
Are you in GR? |

Date: August 24th, 2026 11:30 AM Author: navy rambunctious piazza Are there still DC firms that are quasi-firms/quasi-lobbyists and are they influential in the broader GA world or no? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5896611&forum_id=2/en-en#50089092) |
|
Date: August 26th, 2026 10:45 AM Author: Violent Crusty Haunted Graveyard School Cafeteria Yeah. Tons. Lots of law firms have policy teams and GA spin offs although McDermott’s is now closing (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5896611&forum_id=2/en-en#50094028) |
|
Date: August 26th, 2026 7:42 PM Author: navy rambunctious piazza So do you have an easier/clearer path if you started at one of those firms instead of a generic V10 in NYC or SF/SV? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5896611&forum_id=2/en-en#50095211) |
|
Date: August 27th, 2026 1:12 PM Author: Violent Crusty Haunted Graveyard School Cafeteria For my industry no one will be impressed by random corporate V10 work; you need government experience and relevant private sector work, so it would be better working in an industry-related practice group at a V100 at the start of your career (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5896611&forum_id=2/en-en#50096884) |

|
Date: August 27th, 2026 2:50 PM Author: Wonderful balding menage boltzmann Exactly. It leaves you with something to strive for. People forget how important that is in a role. You have to have something to stretch for. |

|
Date: August 26th, 2026 7:44 PM Author: Sapphire aromatic hospital police squad what is lobbying? do you offer congressmen blowjobs and giftbaskets if they agree to pay you 6 million shekels as part of a defense omnibus bill (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5896611&forum_id=2/en-en#50095222) |
|
Date: August 27th, 2026 1:11 PM Author: Violent Crusty Haunted Graveyard School Cafeteria A lot of it is taking a company SME and having them meet with a staffer from an office working on a bill to convince them to edit/retain/do something that we think is advantageous
same thing with regulatory agencies, usually meetings and comment letters
At the state level there's a lot of managing contract lobbyists in the 50 states and engaging state legislators or regulators
This idea that we just give them money, personal money, to do things is crazy |
|
Date: August 27th, 2026 2:03 PM Author: Sapphire aromatic hospital police squad why the heck would anybody want to meet you or help you
is the idea that all your employees will vote for the politician if a particular result is acheived |

Date: August 26th, 2026 7:45 PM Author: disturbing coldplay fan genital piercing Basically a sales gig. How do they measure success? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5896611&forum_id=2/en-en#50095228) |
|
Date: August 27th, 2026 1:09 PM Author: Violent Crusty Haunted Graveyard School Cafeteria Outcomes and KPIs, like any job.
How much revenue have we saved or earned is a big one but quite challenging
We have metrics we can track on our brand recognition which is in part thanks to GR work
There's process measures like number of meetings, bills, etc. |
|
Date: August 27th, 2026 2:18 PM Author: obsidian meetinghouse background story "We have metrics we can track on our brand recognition which is in part thanks to GR work"
interesting do you automate this or are you tracking with software?
I see some in-house GR teams release infographics with Linkedin Reach numbers - which blows my mind. |
