With over 50 years of experience dedicated to the field of lobbying and public affairs, the team at Kissel, Kohout, ES Associates have developed strong relationships with state senators, agency directors, and the Governor's office. The entire team at Kissel, Kohout will meet with legislators, staff, and other elected officials to support or oppose legislation on your behalf.

Our approach to the Legislature is that our clients tell the best stories and are the best advocates for what we are trying to achieve. As such, we encourage our clients to make themselves available for the highest priority issues pending before the Unicameral. We happily work with our clients to develop testimony and materials for the committee and coalitions with other interested parties to maximize results. Much like issues that face any business or association, there is no single way to handle an issue. Each one must be managed differently depending on multiple variables and requires constant communication with our clients.

With that in mind, the firm takes on a team approach. We do what is needed to get the job done, together. When one of us works on an issue, we all work on that issue. Because of our relatively small client base, we are able to respond quickly and effectively to meet our clients' needs. With less than 40 clients, we are very responsive and agile.
