Executing an effective government relations strategy is about more than just lobbying elected officials. It's about building strong relationships with key agencies and personnel to ensure your message is heard at all levels of government.
With years of experience in both creating and implementing public policy, Johnson & Blanton has an extensive network of contacts throughout Florida government, so you can be confident you have all the information you need to make the best decisions.
At Johnson & Blanton, we believe that a successful government relations strategy should be proactive, and we take the initiative in developing relationships with key government personnel. Through this proactive approach, we provide our clients with early opportunities to advocate their issues.
Influence Rules and Legislation
Our policy experts monitor and analyze administrative rules and legislation that may affect our clients, and develop effective strategies to address them. By utilizing an extensive network developed over many years of working both with and within government, Johnson & Blanton works to advance policies that benefit our clients and counter proposals that may have negative impacts.
Government Agency Interaction
By making regular contact with government agencies and staff, we ensure that our clients always have a strong relationship with the appropriate regulatory agencies. Through these relationships we gather information regarding pending legislation, interim projects, proposed rules, and other upcoming activities. We have extensive experience with major agencies such as the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, the Agency for Health Care Administration, the Department of Health, the Department of Transportation, the Division of Banking and Finance, and many other entities of state government.
Task Forces and Advisory Councils
If you want to make a difference, you need a seat at the table. Johnson & Blanton can seek out and develop opportunities for our clients to serve on Florida's many appointed boards. We regularly monitor the board-vacancy report provided by the Executive Office of the Governor, and we review end-of-session legislation to determine what task forces or committees have been established.
