The most important decisions in Washington are usually made long before any member of Congress casts a vote.
Drawing on three decades inside federal policymaking, Tim Cansler explains how legislation, regulations, funding decisions and political crises are actually shaped—and why passage of a bill is often only the beginning.
Through firsthand experiences spanning Congress, the American Farm Bureau Federation, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and private advocacy, Before the Vote takes readers behind the public speeches and recorded votes to examine the relationships, negotiations and implementation decisions that determine real-world results.
With experience as a congressional staffer, regulatory official, association executive, and federal lobbyist, we understand Washington from the inside out.
But experience alone is no longer enough.
Today’s advocacy requires precision, speed, and efficiency. We combine deep policy expertise with modern data tools and AI-enabled intelligence to help organizations navigate Congress and federal agencies without paying oversized firm retainers.
We work seamlessly alongside in-house teams — strengthening their reach, sharpening strategy, and ensuring their priorities are heard at the right time, by the right decision-makers.
