NorthPort Communications was established in October of 2005 in recognition that the lobbying industry on Capitol Hill has changed in a dramatic fashion.  Clients paying full cost for congressional lobbying efforts from large firms often find that the expense outweighs the results.  The scenario has given rise to a new breed of technologically and politically savvy legislative entrepreneurs.  The idea that having a presence in Washington, DC, and paying a premium for lobbying contractors, made of sense 20 years ago.  It makes little sense in this day-and-age with the advent of web-based resources that allow client’s to communicate effectively with federal audiences.

NorthPort Communications offers clients a qualified and unbiased assessment of their lobbying needs as part of our consulting practice.  We provide the experience, strategic planning, and follow-through whether you choose to become a lobbying client of NorthPort Communications or use our legislative training services to fit your specific needs.

Our strict advocacy schedule for the local development and cultivation of federal appropriations priorities allow strategic advantages to insure our clients don’t pay retail prices for services and advocacy that (A) they can do competently with existing resources within their organization, or (B) can be attained for a deep discount by using NorthPort Communications as a “coach” through the legislative process.

Thinking collaboratively, executing decisively, and operating strategically will help insure that the clients served by NorthPort Communications compete effectively for limited and diminishing federal funding support.
