Synopsis

Revised, updated, and expanded this fourth edition, retitled How to Successfully Lobby State Legislatures, has 11 process flow charts, numerous best-practices checklists, and 100 additional pages of advice, facts, insights, and techniques from lobbyists across the USA. 

"I learned lobbying seat-of-the-pants, like many first-timers. Had I had this book, I would have avoided needless mistakes, saved time, and become a more effective advocate sooner.  It didn't exist then; so I wrote it to help others develop faster and better." Robert L. Guyer
