Political Issues

 

OPPORTUNITIES

Politics impact every aspect of life. Issues such as early childhood development, healthcare reform and public financing/clean elections have implications for all of us. Whether you are attempting to impact politics through changing policy, passing an initiative or directing public funds to a particular community or educational program, it is imperative that you advocate effectively in order to engage the government and the public at large. You need a trusted leader who can champion your issue with strength and coordinated action. You must ensure that your messaging is clear and targeted to the right audience. In order to be successful you must strategically identify revenue sources, develop coalitions and understand how to organize local and statewide communities in support of your issue.

Art Hamilton was intimately involved in the successful strategic advocacy of the “It’s Time” initiative. This initiative was responsible for generating 20,000 members of the group that resulted in the construction of the new University of Phoenix stadium in Glendale, a significant political issue victory. As president of the National Conference of State Legislatures, Mr. Hamilton led the task force to re-write states policies on how state governments deal with families and individuals wrestling with problems of the developmentally disabled.
