McLane Middleton Government and Public Strategies

At McLane Middleton GPS, we know government, because we’ve been there. Experience matters when it comes to navigating the complex intersection of government affairs, politics, communications and public policy. We bring decades of experience at the senior levels of government and running and winning state and federal campaigns. We serve a broad range of clients, including energy and health care companies, educational institutions, advocacy organizations and not-for-profits.

Our approach:

Bipartisan – Our GPS team is comprised of Republicans and Democrats. Our clients benefit from the range of perspectives and from knowing all their government relations needs can be met under one roof.

Strategic – Achieving success in the public arena depends on careful, creative and strategic planning and execution. Each client’s needs are unique. We take the time to get to know our clients, their goals, strengths and vulnerabilities, and develop a unique strategy to meet their objectives.

Message focused – Whatever the objective, clients need to have a clear message that’s tailored for a particular audience, whether that’s legislators, regulators or the public. We work with clients to frame winning, persuasive messages that will resonate with the audiences that need to hear them.

Credibility first – In this business, credibility means everything, from our work ethic, our relationships with clients, policymakers and elected officials. That’s the approach we take in helping clients navigate their challenges in the public arena.
