Iowa Government Affairs, Lobbying & Public Affairs

Bipartisan Iowa lobbying for businesses, associations and organizations with a stake at the Statehouse, backed by nearly a decade inside state government. HYS develops legislative strategy and bill language, lobbies lawmakers in both parties, prepares testimony, builds coalitions and tracks your bills through Iowa’s funnel deadlines. We also engage the Governor’s office and state agencies on rules and approvals, whether you need to pass a bill, change one or stop one.

Entering or expanding in Iowa? HYS helps start-ups, corporations and out-of-state organizations understand Iowa’s political and regulatory landscape, meet the policymakers, agency leaders and industry stakeholders who matter, and work through state regulatory approvals. We also identify economic development incentives that fit your plans, help you find and apply for Iowa grant opportunities, and prepare you for high-impact meetings, site visits and facility tours.

For associations, companies and organizations that need lawmakers, members and the public to understand their issue. HYS develops your message and talking points, writes speeches, press releases and award applications, prepares spokespeople for interviews, and runs social media and grassroots outreach built for Iowa audiences. We identify credible messengers, such as farmers, employees and local leaders, and time outreach around legislative deadlines so your communications support your policy strategy.
