The MHSA Advantage

Michigan's Most Effective

Ribbon

In 2006, MHSA was named Michigan's "Number 1" multi-client lobbying firm according to a comprehensive survey conducted by Inside Michigan Politics (IMP). Of equal importance, out of the more than 1,300 registered lobbyist agents in Michigan, five MHSA lobbyists earned honors and were ranked in the category of "Individual Lobbyists: The Top 20." Our five lobbyists earning a top 20 individual power ranking include Patrick Harrington, Jon Smalley, Sandi Lewis, Adrian Cazal and Bret Marr. In order to determine the power ranking of organizations and individuals who are both "players" and "effective," the IMP survey was distributed to all members of the Michigan Legislature, selected legislative and administration staff members, members of the Capitol News Media, and others.

MHSA's Unique Team Approach

MHSA is unique among Michigan lobbying firms because we provide a highly effective "team approach" to advocacy and client service - something that other large multi-client lobbying firms do not effectively provide and smaller firms simply cannot offer. Under MHSA's team approach, one lobbyist assumes primary responsibility for your needs, yet all MHSA lobbyists are fully prepared and readily available as your advocates. This ensures multiple points of expertise and multiple points of access to policy makers and their staffs so that our clients maintain the highest level of presence in Lansing.
