Legislative and Executive Branch Lobbying
Gallo & Robinson provides a voice in the Connecticut General Assembly to non-profits, health care and education professionals, unions, and civil rights advocacy groups. We carry a deep knowledge of the process, backed up by years of experience and strong relationships with legislators on both sides of the aisle, and have contacts with officials and staff in all three branches of government. We believe strongly that it is important for us to be at the Capitol full-time during the Session. When legislators are there, we are there. We proudly stand by a history of accomplishments in the fields of civil rights, criminal justice, health care advocacy, economic justice, appropriations, and bonding.

Legislative Strategy
Gallo & Robinson analyzes legislation that may be of interest to our clients and works with them to determine legislative priorities. From an idea to the initial drafting, all the way to a chamber vote, the Governor’s pen, and the regulatory process, we watch and track bills and documents through each step of the process, keeping our clients informed of all activity. We also provide insight and explanation on legislative rules, schedules, and culture of the Capitol and the ever-changing political landscape in Hartford.

Coalition Building
In the loud and complex world of public policy, it can be difficult for a single voice to break through. That is why Gallo & Robinson helps our clients build and foster strong grassroots advocacy networks with other like-minded organizations to ensure that decision makers hear directly from a vast array of constituents. As longstanding members of many alliances and coalitions, our team is thoroughly connected to other groups and activists with similar goals, priorities, and values.
