Founded in 1982, The Ferguson Group lobbies Congress and the federal agencies on behalf of public and private interests across the country. The Ferguson Group is the largest federal representative of local governments in Washington, DC. In addition, we represent more irrigation districts, water districts, and local water agencies than any other Washington firm.

Members of our bi-partisan staff earned their reputation serving on the front lines as staff to key Members of Congress. Our expertise in the substance, process, and culture of Capitol Hill is the foundation of our consistently successful advocacy efforts.

TFG promotes progress and delivers results through the following government relations services:

Federal Funding – Formulate and implement creative strategies for obtaining federal dollars by working with Members of Congress to direct annual appropriations and support for competitive grants to priority projects.

Congressional Advocacy – Deliver the right message to the right people at the right time to educate Members of Congress on opportunities, enhance your reputation and relationships with key policy-makers, build bipartisan congressional support for your ideas, and obtain the desired results.

Regulatory and Policy Advocacy – Promote your projects and interests by seeking to affect federal rules, regulations, guidance, and policy decisions. We track regulatory and policy developments, build client relationships with top agency officials, support your issues through agency budget development, participate in rulemaking processes, help steer agency decisions with statutory direction and congressional oversight, and build allies and coalitions for regulatory objectives.

Coalition Building – Reach your objectives by connecting you with coalitions and networks that support these goals, or by building new coalitions to advocate for your issues.

Events and Logistics – Set up or conduct meetings, conferences, or events in Washington D.C. TFG can build the agenda, recruit the participants, confirm featured speakers and guests, provide logistics, and make your event efficient and effective.

TFG is ready to put our knowledge, experience, relationships, and track record in federal government relations to work for you.
