Why Brakeman Advocacy

I started Brakeman Advocacy, because I believe that every person, group, coalition, non-profit, labor union and organization should have access to leaders in our state who make decisions about laws and policies that impact our lives.

And yet I see a gap - smaller groups, organizations, coalitions, unions and non-profits who need representation, but don’t have the expertise, access or means.

As a result, part of my business model is to help bridge this gap for groups where I can and when it makes sense.

I think out of the box, I’m a straight-forward , transparent communicator with the highest level of integrity and I have three decades of experience, skills and relationships as a hands-on lobbyist, advocate, organizer, event planner, and more to help you win.

My services will be client-driven, politically astute, informed,  and designed to be flexible and fluid to meet changing demands and circumstances.

I will help you develop a strategic plan for success that includes a comprehensive assessment of strengths and challenges, power dynamics and organizational capacity rooted in engaging and upholding stakeholders as the primary voices in effecting change.
