Founded in 2003 by Amy Campbell and Craig Patterson, Campbell/Patterson Consulting LLP takes a fresh approach to traditional lobbying.

Over their more than 30 years of combined experience in the political and public policy arena, Campbell and Patterson witnessed many good organizations being swallowed up by firms more focused on building their lobbying empires than fighting for the interests of their clients.

Campbell/Patterson has chosen to maintain a smaller, more focused client base that emphasizes superior service, custom game plans, individual attention, and unparallelled results. This strategy has proven successful; no client has ever gone elsewhere for services in our seven years in business.

So take some time to learn more about us, our philosophy, our services, and our clients - and tell us how we can help you achieve your state and Federal legislative goals.
