About Us

I Street Advocates drives results through innovative strategies and tactics, from lobbying and direct advocacy to coalition-building and digital grassroots, before agencies and legislatures at the federal and state levels.  I Street is lesser known than K Street, but offers an alternative, faster route to the Capitol.

We offer comprehensive, boutique government relations and public policy services for a wide range of clients, including independent media companies; telecommunications companies; non-profit healthcare organizations; consumer groups; and labor unions. We deliver creative, scrappy, impactful advocacy for our clients in Washington, D.C and state capitols.

  • We represent clients before Congress, the White House, cabinet agencies, the Department of Justice (Antitrust Division), Department of Commerce (National Telecommunications and Information Administration), Department of Health and Human Services (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, National Institutes of Health, and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality) and independent agencies, particularly the Federal Communications Commission and Federal Trade Commission, and the Postal Regulatory Commission.

  • I Street has led or participated in successful legislative campaigns in more than a dozen states, with an extensive network of state registered lobbyists throughout the country to magnify our impact. We developed and won enactment of consumer protection laws in Virginia, the District of Columbia, and Maryland; we secured the Colorado governor’s veto of harmful legislation; and we testified before state legislatures from California to Florida. We worked successfully with influential State Attorneys General on antitrust and consumer protection matters.

  • We work with our clients to formulate creative, innovative, and pragmatic policy proposals that promote positive change. With over 60 years of combined experience in federal government, from the White House, to Cabinet and regulatory agencies, to the U.S. Senate and House, I Street Advocates helps our clients formulate legislative, regulatory, and private governance policy proposals. We work with clients to understand their organizations and sectors, collaborate to define specific goals, and analyze how best to reach those goals within institutional, political, legal, and practical limitations.

  • I Street has founded and managed coalitions to impact state, federal, and non-governmental issue campaigns, either by establishing new non-profit organizations or by organizing informal partnerships. We utilize grassroots strategies to best contextualize an issue and harness the strength of individuals and organizations who desire change. We develop third-party relationships with organizations that share our clients’ interests, sometimes forging unlikely alliances that capture the attention of policymakers.
