Capitol Hill Reality Check: Why You Keep Meeting With Staffers

I was sitting at Reagan National Airport a couple of weeks ago, listening to a group of advocates vent about their meetings on Capitol Hill.

They were frustrated that they “only” met with staffers.

And I get it. That frustration is real.

But it also misses how these relationships actually work.

If your advocates keep getting staffer meetings but not getting any further, the issue is usually not access. It's probably your strategy.

As a former US Senate staffer, I wrote more about what is really going on behind those meetings and what to do differently over on Substack.

Take the next step to move from reactive to strategic.
