SERVING CLIENT NEEDS

With legislative experiences that include the United States Senate, the General Assembly of Virginia and a variety of municipal boards and commissions, we understand the expectations of the public sector and can successfully bridge the gap that often arises between government and private industry.

The Gaston Group, LLC provides a wide range of client services, recognizing that each issue poses distinct problems and potential solutions.

COMPREHENSIVE GOVERNMENT SOLUTIONS
The Gaston Group, LLC works with clients to develop an integrated and effective governmental affairs program, whether it is creating a new strategy in governmental relations, or re-vamping and revitalizing an existing one. Creating and implementing a proactive program reinforces business objectives and ensures that important relationships are solidified before they are needed.

DEVELOPING THE MESSAGE
With experience in all levels of government, The Gaston Group, LLC assists in framing policy issues and crafting a clear, substantive message that will resonate with policy makers. This includes the development of issues papers and talking points, drafting and delivering public testimony, and providing other vital communications.

GRASSROOTS POLITICAL INFLUENCE
We realize that often, the best spokesperson on an issue is the client. Nothing permeates better than when those who are affected by legislation or regulation speak directly to its impact. By working closely with clients on developing grassroots support, including education and information, we are better prepared to deliver our message to key policy makers.

COALITION BUILDING
Our firm works with clients to identify and recruit significant allies to enhance the client's opportunities for success. We have in-depth knowledge of key individuals and organizations, both public and private, and an extensive network of contacts to assist in building critical coalitions centered around specific issues.

To make certain that all of the needs of our clients are met, The Gaston Group, LLC frequently engages in a variety of Teaming Relationships.
