Whether it’s school zone speed cameras, EV sales, or Education Savings Accounts, state-level policies — NOT just federal policies dominate the public affairs world. And what happens in one state tends to happen in others. A win in Florida becomes a template for Georgia. A close call in North Carolina serves as a warning for Tennessee and so on. This means that there is the potential for 50 different legislative fights occurring around a single issue from state to state. 

At Drive Public Affairs, we have experience waging legislative battles around the country, delivering wins for our clients in blue states, red states, and everywhere in between. If you are going into the 2026 Session with an issue you need help with, let us know. Odds are we have an actionable plan on the shelf that has already proven to be a winner in another state. 

Of course, this is not to say that we can copy-paste legislative campaigns from state to state. Every legislature has its own personalities, timelines, and unwritten rules. But, it is to say that we can draw upon the strategies and tactics that we have deployed in other states to provide the most efficient and effective strategy for a winning campaign. 

If you need to target a specific legislator and the people who influence them, their chief of staff, donors, political allies, or even their personal friends — we’ve got you covered. Our Echo Audience targeting models allow us to target a highly tailored audience of people in an individual’s orbit. You want an echo chamber? We can deliver one. 

In addition to our usual award-winning ad campaigns and creative work, we also offer influencer marketing services. Most elected officials, policy influencers, and reporters spend a lot of time on X. Instead of relying solely on traditional X ads, we have access to a roster of conservative influencers who can get your message out in an organic way to their massive audiences. This lets us shape the conversation in real-time, on the platform where lawmakers and journalists linger and where legislative narratives frequently begin.

Time is ticking. Session starts in just a few weeks. If you or your trade association or advocacy organization needs to get your message out, we’ve got you covered. We can build and deploy a comprehensive plan before the 2026 Sessions gavels in — but only if you let us know.
