[post_content] => There’s no question that state public affairs work has become more complicated in recent years, especially for corporate teams. State legislatures introduced
almost 77,000 bills in the first half of this year and passed more than 14,000.
In a universe that big, it would be easy to miss something. Legislation on inflation or taxes, on workplace rules or artificial intelligence, on energy or climate change, or many other issues that directly impact your team and your company.
Perhaps more importantly, that complexity is only growing. November’s election will decide party control of the White House and Congress, as well as
thousands of state offices.
More than 5,800 legislative seats in 44 states—79 percent of all state legislative seats in America—will be up for grabs. The election will also
decide 11 governorships. When the votes are counted, there will be a lot of new faces to meet, educate, and influence.
Teams facing that kind of volume and fast-paced change need the right tools to get the job done. For corporate government affairs teams working at the state level, here are some of the capabilities that should be in your tool kit.
1. Professional Legislative Analysis
With thousands of bills in play, legislative analysis can strain even the largest and most experienced team. Thankfully, this is one area where technology can provide substantial assistance. Monitoring social media can give you a window on the conversation that surrounds certain bills and initiatives. But when it comes to dissecting and understanding new bills, artificial intelligence (AI) is a game changer.
While
professional tracking systems can help identify pertinent legislation and monitor a bill’s progression, AI systems can help you better understand the language contained within complex bills. In short, it helps you identify the bills that matter.
For example,
Quorum Copilot allows you to perform capture can “read” and understand legislation — pulling out information that is relevant to your organization. Imagine an omnibus bill that runs to hundreds of pages. Then imagine being able to perform a search asking, “How does this bill impact employee taxes?” AI can identify terms you have not thought of and provide insight that might escape analysis with dated digital tools.
I can also be a competitive advantage. Only about 36 percent of government affairs teams are currently using AI tools, according to the
State of Government Affairs 2024 Survey. That means your competitors are very likely not yet using AI. In an environment where quick action matters, AI tools can give you precious time to set strategy and respond fast when bills are moving.
2. Post-Election Engagement Tools
With the entire U.S. House, a third of the Senate, and thousands of state lawmakers facing voters in November, teams will introduce themselves and their issues to hundreds of new legislators shortly after the election. Explaining your organization’s agenda at that scale requires extreme organization.
Professional
stakeholder management tools can help your organization track interactions with hundreds of lawmakers and key staffers. It allows you to keep detailed notes and share that information across teams, so that lobbyists, grassroots experts and others are all operating from the same base of information.
Using professional tools makes it easier to build critical relationships and develop those relationships over time by making it fast and easy to access the information that leads to successful interactions.
3. Powerful Grassroots Advocacy
While the legislative crush has passed this year, it is coming again in January—and it will be even larger.
With almost 77,000 new bills introduced this year, and a nearly equal number of carryovers, state bills numbered roughly 148,000. That may sound like a staggering number, but this was the second year of the session. January will mark the first year of the next session—and that traditionally brings
even more bills. Perhaps more important, many of those bills will be introduced by lawmakers who are new to the job.
In that kind of busy environment, the ability to raise grassroots voices in a region, a state, or a specific district is critical.
Professional advocacy software makes it easier to maintain an “always on” grassroots program that operates year-round, allowing your company to raise a powerful army of constituent supporters on command.
Professional tools make it easier to build that program, recruiting new advocates, keeping them engaged via text and email, and reporting detailed metrics on how your advocates perform. It allows you to segment lists, customize messaging and even use AI to optimize your communications, making sure that your grassroots efforts are targeted and effective.
4. PAC Management and Compliance
Whether you operate in one state or many, supporting candidates and party committees is an important part of government affairs work. A political action committee is a powerful tool, but it can be a lot of work to continually engage donors, track the action, and maintain compliance.
Advanced PAC management software provides your company with a serious advantage, putting all the tools you need in one place. The ability to develop a website for your PAC, drive contributions with personalized solicitations and easily generate updates on performance allows you to minimize manual work while growing a stronger relationship with members.
A professional system will allow you to manage transactions and reconcile accounts in real-time, eliminating the crush when the filing deadline nears. Whether you file state or federal reports, they can be done in just a few clicks.
Another benefit of professional systems is one that often goes unmentioned: access to professional help. The ability to contact your vendor, get questions answered and solve problems is like having another expert on your team.
From post-election activity to state legislative sessions, it is clear that the coming months will be busy. The teams that succeed will be those that prepare, not only with strategy and messaging but with tools that allow them to operate quickly and at scale. As the old adage says, those who fail to plan, plan to fail.
