The Tomhave Group, Inc. is a government relations consulting firm that specializes in lobbying for rural and tribal jurisdictions. In addition to getting congressional authorization and appropriations for our clients, we also serve as their liaisons to federal, state, and local agencies; facilitate stakeholder meetings; and lead strategic planning initiatives. Our clients include tribal governments, county governments, non-profit organizations and private companies.

We develop testimony, legislation, briefing packets and coalitions to help rural communities become better communities. Our work product includes federal policies, programs and earmarks needed to develop the essential infrastructure that most people in Washington, D.C. take for granted.

We do what other lobbyists won’t do. We come to your community to see your issues through your eyes so we can carry your vision back to Washington, DC to make decision makers understand what you need and why. Our philosophy is simple: sustainable solutions for communities must emerge from the communities themselves.

The First Amendment of the United States Constitution guarantees the right to lobby the federal government: “Congress shall make no law… abridging the freedom of speech… or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”

Lobbying is an essential element of our democracy. Elected and appointed officials rely on expert information to make informed decision about pending legislation and administration policy. Legislation passes every day, with or without you; it is important for your voice be heard.

Our years of experience working with rural America provide us with a unique understanding of how national policy impacts you. Since you pay for federal programs you might as well get some in return. We are your ethical, experienced and diligent guides through the confluence of money, power and influence that is Washington, D.C. Let us tell your story so you get the ending you deserve.
