EMA's Public Affairs Group helps clients manage their issues and reputation in a governmental arena — whether it's legislation, regulation, litigation, licensing, policy, politics, procurement, state, local or federal — any issue where public officials are making decisions. Clients come to us because we know how the system works, and how positive news coverage and smart outreach to key stakeholders and constituent groups can create success.

EMA's Public Affairs team comes from the top levels of the executive and legislative branches of government, trade associations, political campaigns and the news media.

Our work is respected first and foremost because our clients succeed. But it's also respected because we revere the skills our clients and other team members — including lobbyists, attorneys, engineers, in-house communications professionals and others technical experts — bring to the effort. It's a collaborative mindset that adapts to client cultures and working styles.
