KMAC lobbyists research, package, communicate, and advocate client positions to Northwest legislators and regulators. Our lobbyists constantly monitor and report on regulatory proposals as well as proposed legislation to assure our clients can make informed decisions.

Lobbying in Oregon and Washington is much more than communication with government officials although we certainly deliver quick access when needed. KMAC’s greatest value is in building powerful coalitions, educating public officials, and assuring all sides of an issue are presented in the most compelling manner possible.

Fundraising is too often overlooked in the excitement of planning campaigns for public office or in launching an important non profit. Kathy McDonald’s team has a proven track record of gathering startup money, expanding early stage development efforts, and maximizing cash flow at every phase.

The citizens and businesses of Washington and Oregon are always ready to help out worthy causes and quality candidates. The KMAC team strategically monetizes the generous spirit of Northwest contributors with a proprietary four-phase approach.

The 2008 Presidential election gave candidate and campaign branding broad visibility with Sara Palin and Barrack Obama, but KMAC has been working on political branding since the 1990s. Great branding is vital to every candidate or measure; it’s much more than logos and a website.

Candidate and campaign branding begins with a compelling story, supported by persuasive messages, packaged more professionally than even the best known national candidates. We build powerful campaigns with a strong brand promise that defines a candidate’s qualities or the importance of a ballot measure.

Non-profits, educational institutions and other projects requiring public or charitable funding must operate strategically in the current belt-tightening environment. Our political strategy team quickly packages your project to align it with current government and private initiatives and vision. We then position you amidst what’s going on now.

In the legislative arena our political strategy team helps develop grassroots activism, gather behind-the-scenes political support, and ties your project to current legislative interests. Whether you are looking for a big legislative win, a key regulatory approval or to protect your constituency from poorly thought out legislation we have the resources, access and strategists to help.
