When the new Congress takes office in January, Washington expects an active and aggressive oversight agenda from day one no matter who holds the majority.
A congressional inquiry can put a company’s reputation, market position, and leadership under pressure in a single news cycle. For those holding their breath until the final midterm ballots are counted, it will be too late. History says the first inquiries will go out in November, before the new Congress is even sworn in.
Since 2012, FTP has been preparing companies and executives for the hardest rooms in Washington. Our oversight practice focuses what we do best: leveraging the intelligence, the relationships, the preparation, and the narrative that carry a company through scrutiny without material damage. We can work alongside your counsel to navigate every phase of an inquiry.
FTP combines government relations, public affairs, strategic communications, research, analytics, digital, field, and advocacy intelligence. Our bipartisan team helps clients prepare early, respond effectively, and protect reputation under pressure.
