The old approach to lobbying, based almost exclusively on purely personal friendship, is becoming obsolete - a trend accelerated by the new legislative and executive term limits.

Within this new environment, PAA has built and maintains a comprehensive set of relationships with all facets of government.

PAA provides direct advocacy lobbying of legislators and executive personnel as well as client access to them. This includes contact with the House and Senate leadership and committee chairs, who have significant influence over the fate of legislative issues.

Frequently, a client matter requires attention at the highest levels of government. Many legislative proposals originate in the executive branch, where administrators lobby the legislature on issues that affect their interest. PAA has regular contact with the Governor's office and top managers in the administration.
