To some people “lobbying” is a dirty word.  At KWK we prove on a daily basis that representing clients at the Indiana General Assembly and before administrative agencies can be done with honesty and integrity.  We pride ourselves in developing relationships with members of both parties, and in “making the case” as to why what our clients are seeking is good public policy.

While members of our team of lobbyists are both Republicans and Democrat, it is not party affiliation that makes us effective.  Rather we strive to truly get to know each legislator or policymaker on a personal basis.  Over the years we have become an important resource to these decision-makers on a wide variety of issues such as healthcare, professional regulation, telecommunications, agriculture, education, and retailing.  They know that when they ask Bill, Kelli or Lou a question they will get the whole truth, and the data to back it up.

A combination of experience and public service make our team unique at the Statehouse.  The partners at KWK have over sixty years of combined lobbying experience, and have each held key positions in state government.  Since 1974 members of KWK have been a part of Indiana state government.

While the Indiana General Assembly is in session only three or four months each year, lobbying activities occur throughout the year.  In fact, the most important work often occurs when the Legislature is not in session.  Visiting legislators in their hometowns, participating in interim study committees, developing strategies with clients for the next session, and meeting with key administration officials keep us running year round.  A common theme found when interviewing our clients is that they strongly believe they get their “money’s worth” when contracting with KWK.
