KJL’s Mission
To provide winning government relations, association management and communication services for their slate of statewide, national and global clients.
Winning requires ongoing research and relations — monitoring state lawmakers and their staffs, government agencies, and the administration. Winning requires establishing trusting relationships with our clients and with the elected and agency officials whose decisions ultimately determine who wins and who loses in the Capitol. Perhaps most important, winning requires follow through. Our entire team works to learn, grasp and work your issue, while always being led by a principal. In the field, we present our client’s positions clearly and passionately, always mindful that our professional conduct creates and maintains a positive perception of whom we represent.
