SERVICES
Legislative
Smith Policy Group staff have decades of experience drafting, sponsoring, and managing legislation through the California and federal legislative process. We work with our clients to identify key policy objectives, build coalitions to support legislative engagement, testify before legislative and regulatory bodies, and garner Administration support for policy proposals. As a full service lobbying firm, we also monitor and track over 2,500 pieces of legislation annually and help clients engage in meaningful support and opposition relative to their policy priorities.
Regulatory
Navigating the complexities of state and federal bureaucracy requires an insiders perspective based on strong personal relationships. The SPG team relies on strong networks and deep experience to advise our clients on successful engagement strategies with appointees, regulators, and professional staff.

Additionally, SPG staff are skilled in helping clients access grant funding from a variety of state and federal agencies, including voter approved propositions. SPG has helped clients secure hundreds of millions of dollars for water infrastructure, conservation, easements and fee title acquisitions, outdoor recreation and other priorities.
