Summary
The Office of the Mayor of the City of St. Louis seeks an experienced, hard-working, proactive, and qualified federal lobbying team to advance the City’s interests in Washington, D.C., focusing on securing discretionary funding, influencing legislation related to urban infrastructure, public safety, community development, and economic growth. Key priorities include maximizing federal formula funds and leveraging grant opportunities for city initiatives.

In a time of profound federal uncertainty and dynamic policy shifts, the City of St. Louis cannot afford to navigate Washington D.C. without a robust and exceptionally qualified federal lobbying team. The Mayor's Office seeks proposals for a lobbying consultant whose services are not merely beneficial, but essential to safeguarding the City's future. More than just advocates, the successful firm will act as a trusted advisor and expert navigator, helping the City to secure desperately needed federal funding, advance our federal policy agenda, address our financial and disaster recovery needs, and monitor the rapidly changing political environment.
