Supporters Aren't Mobilized
Your members and partners are willing to engage, but without campaign structure they act inconsistently or too late to make an impact.
West Virginia Advocacy Services
GRASSROOTS & GRASSTOPS ADVOCACY
Mobilize supporters, activate influential voices, and deliver a coordinated message that moves decision-makers at every level of West Virginia government.
YOUR SUPPORTERS ARE READY.
ARE THEY MOVING TOGETHER?
Without a coordinated strategy, even the most passionate base can't influence policy outcomes. Here's where most organizations fall short:
Influential Voices Stay Untapped
Executives, community leaders, and respected figures can shift outcomes, but only when they are briefed and activated intentionally and strategically.
Message Discipline Breaks Down
Without clear talking points and disciplined timing, advocacy becomes noise instead of a persuasive and credible policy case that moves decision-makers.

Common Questions
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT
ADVOCACY IN WEST VIRGINIA.
West Virginia's political landscape is relationship-driven and uniquely local. Here are answers to the questions we hear most often.
FAQs
Grassroots advocacy mobilizes a broad base of supporters (members, constituents, and community stakeholders) to generate policy dialogue and demonstrate widespread support for an issue. Grasstops advocacy activates a smaller group of highly influential voices (executives, community leaders, and respected figures) whose relationships with decision-makers can shift outcomes. HartmanCosco deploys both strategies in lockstep for maximum impact.
We start by defining your goal and constructing a message that resonates with the proper constituencies. From there we build a coordinated strategy, identify your most valuable assets, both grassroots and grasstops, and guide your organization through every step of the process. Our client-first philosophy means your goals drive our approach from day one.
West Virginia's government is relationship-driven, both in its written rules and its unwritten ones. Without insider access and trusted relationships at every level of state government, most organizations find themselves reacting to decisions instead of shaping them. HartmanCosco has spent over 15 years building the relationships that give our clients a seat at the table.
