Our Practices Are Built to Win

We're a bipartisan public affairs and government relations firm built to help organizations navigate complex policy challenges, shape important conversations, and achieve meaningful results.

Building Influence

in State Debates.

Governor Engagement Across All 50 States

What happens in the states increasingly shapes what happens across the country.

Governors, attorneys general, legislatures, and state agencies are taking on a growing role in shaping policy, regulating industries, and driving national conversations. Understanding that landscape has never been more important.

FTP helps clients navigate state policy challenges and opportunities whenever and wherever they emerge.

We provide insight into what’s happening on the ground and what it means for your organization. Our nationwide network and the relationships we’ve built with state leaders and policymakers makes that possible.

We work with clients to monitor emerging issues, engage decision makers, build support for policy priorities, and spot challenges before they become tomorrow’s headlines. Whether the objective is advancing legislation, shaping implementation, or coordinating advocacy across multiple states, we help clients develop strategies that fit the political and policy realities they face.

Just as important, we help clients connect the dots between state and federal activity. Today’s state debates often become tomorrow’s national issues, and decisions made in Washington are ultimately implemented at the state level.

We help clients stay ahead of both.
