DC-based Lobbying and Government Relations Firm That Delivers Access, Strategy, and Results
Fulcrum Public Affairs is one of Washington’s leading bipartisan lobbying and government relations firms, delivering direct access to Congress, the Administration, and state and local policymakers across healthcare, financial services, and beyond.
A Campaign-Style Approach to Federal, State, and Local Advocacy
At Fulcrum, we don’t just schedule meetings and report back. We build advocacy campaigns the same way a winning political campaign builds a ground game — layering direct Hill engagement, coalition activation, stakeholder outreach, and strategic communications to move an issue from proposal to outcome.
Our bipartisan team has relationships on both sides of the aisle at every level of government, which means we can find the path forward regardless of which party controls the chamber.
Full-Service Lobbying and Government Relations
Federal, State, and Local Lobbying
Direct advocacy before Congress, federal agencies, and state and local governments, backed by decades of Hill experience and senior relationships across both parties.
Hill Meeting Scheduling and Preparation
We manage the full arc of Capitol Hill engagement — identifying the right offices, securing meetings, and preparing clients to walk in ready to make their case.
Client Fly-In Days
Coordinated legislative days that bring client stakeholders to Washington for direct engagement with lawmakers and staff. We handle logistics, briefings, and follow-through.
Strategic Planning and Mapping
Before outreach begins, we build a detailed roadmap — identifying decision-makers, mapping the political landscape, and developing a campaign-style plan.
Legislative Monitoring and Analysis
We track legislation, regulatory activity, and policy developments in real time, keeping clients ahead of changes that could affect their business, industry, or mission.
Hearing Analysis and Policy Briefs
Clear, actionable analysis of hearings and regulatory proceedings — identifying the key signals, emerging positions, and strategic implications.
Hearing Preparation
Fulcrum helps clients prepare for congressional and state level hearings before authorizing, appropriations, and oversight committees including reviewing testimony and running murder board sessions.
Strategic Relationships Across the Congressional Tri-Caucus
Longstanding relationships with Members and senior staff across the Congressional Black (CBC), Hispanic (CHC), and Asian Pacific American (CAPAC) Caucuses, helping clients advance priorities on the Hill.
Strategic Government Relations From the Inside Out
Government relations is about more than getting a meeting. It’s about understanding the full legislative and political landscape — who the key decision-makers are, what their priorities and pressure points are, and how to position a client’s issue so it resonates.
Our holistic view of the legislative and political processes lets us educate and advocate effectively on behalf of every client, and see the path forward before it becomes obvious to everyone else.
Small firm service. Big firm capabilities.
Deep, well-connected Hill and private-sector experience, paired with a creative and agile team — the differentiator against large, impersonal firms.
Bipartisan by design
Built to work across party lines. Our team has served on both sides of the aisle, so clients are never locked out of a room because of who’s in power.
Senior-led on every account
Oscar and Dana are active on every engagement. No hand-offs, no junior associates running point while partners collect fees.
Campaign-style, not transactional
Traditional firms schedule meetings. Fulcrum builds campaigns. That difference shows in the outcomes.
Lobbying Across the Issues That Matter Most
Our sector expertise runs deep, and every engagement is led by a partner with direct experience in the client’s industry.
