Don't Bury Your Lead: A Hill Veteran's Guide to Effective Advocacy

What does it really take to walk into a congressional office and move the needle? Stacey Leavandosky — former Chief of Staff to Rep. Zoe Lofgren and a two-decade House veteran — makes her podcast debut on Facts About PACs to break down the art and science of Hill advocacy. Now with NABPAC's Democratic lobbying partner Federal Street Strategies, Stacey shares what she looks for when advocates walk in the door, how to prepare for the meeting that goes sideways before it starts, and why showing up with district-level presence is still one of the most powerful tools in any PAC's arsenal. Timed ahead of NABPAC's second annual Legislative Summit and Day of Action, this conversation is essential listening for every PAC director and government affairs professional heading to the Hill.
