“Proxy is not just our contract lobbyists; they are integral members of our government relations team and trusted advisors on the legislative process in Oregon. The breadth of their relationships and deep knowledge of the politics of a given issue have been an incredible asset for Kaiser Permanente for well over a decade. Their understated approach is thoughtful and strategic, and incredibly effective. Most importantly, they are both held in high regard by members of the Legislature and the Lobby alike. We are very grateful to have them on our team and proud to have them represent Kaiser Permanente.”

“Proxy was instrumental in helping the City of Happy Valley pass an important bill that resolved a multi-year contentious issue between the City and Clackamas County. They coached our team through the legislative process and gave us realistic expectations of what to expect. They successfully navigated our issue specific bill through one of the most polarizing legislative sessions in recent memory. Not only was there previous controversy regarding our bill, there was a threat that the legislature may be denied a quorum of members. Due to their foresight, they went to work early using their expertise in process and professional relationships to build a strong coalition. What started out controversial ended with unanimous votes in the House of Representatives and Senate. Our priority bill was only one of three to get passed that particular session due to the denial of quorum. The City is in a much better position to serve our residents because of their efforts.”
