Our skills and experiences in strategy, planning, marketing, and communications make us the best team to represent you under the dome in Augusta.

“As a new Legislator this year, it was my good fortune to develop a relationship with Laura Harper of Moose Ridge Associates. It was quite ironic, but in the back of my mind I was considering legislation to address an issue in my district. Laura approached me and asked if I would consider co-sponsoring a bill that would address the issue and I agreed. She quickly brought me up to speed, providing background information, and kept me in contact with Legislators and others that could help me move the bill forward.  She was a valuable resource and stayed with me and the bill until the end, absolutely over and above what I expected.”

— The Honorable Gary Hilliard (R-Belgrade)

“Moose Ridge is a high-quality, hard-working lobbying and legislative advocacy firm. They have taken the time to learn about the policy details of the advocacy priorities of the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network. Their attention-to-detail, strong relationships with lawmakers of all parties, savvy legislative strategy skills, and clear and regular communications have added depth and strength to ACS CAN’s government relations team in Maine. The Moose Ridge team has been an integral part of ACS CAN’s ability to pass legislation in Maine that supports the fight against cancer and defend against legislation that would be detrimental to our organization’s mission.”

— Hilary Schneider, ACS CAN

“When the folks from Moose Ridge Associates approach me in the halls of the Legislature, I know I will get straightforward, honest, and reliable information. They advocate vigorously for the clients, but do so with integrity.”

— The Honorable Roger Katz (R-Kennebec)

“Moose Ridge has been a crucial part of our legislative work. Their lobbyists are seasoned, with deep knowledge of process and political strategy and the relationships to get things done. I sleep better knowing they are always on the ground at the State House keeping an eye on our priorities and ready to help at a moment’s notice.”

— Elizabeth Ward Saxl, MECASA

“Moose Ridge Associates have advised the Maine Unitarian Universalist State Advocacy Network many times. Their depth of knowledge about a spectrum of issues and legislative strategy has been incredibly helpful.”

— The Honorable Dale McCormick (D-Kennebec), Co-Chair, MUUSAN
