Who We Are
GQHC was formed on the premise that most government relations firms in California had little resemblance to the younger and increasingly diverse makeup of today’s policymakers.
GQHC is a unique, minority and woman owned bipartisan government relations firm headquartered in Sacramento with over 60 years of collective experience in California’s legislative and regulatory arenas. We are honored to represent a wide array of more than fifty clients, ranging from Fortune 500 companies, large and small trade associations, non-profit based organizations and local government interests. GQHC’s diverse and politically active clientele provide our firm broad-based access to almost every policymaker in California – regardless of their party affiliation or policy interests.
Our Team
Our Philosophy
GQHC utilizes a distinctive, team-driven philosophy in which every team member understands the needs of each client and can utilize their own unique relationships to achieve our clients’ goals. This approach allows the GQHC team to draw on their diverse policy and bipartisan backgrounds to achieve success for those we represent in and around California. Our clients can attest GQHC is strategic and innovative in our approach – and we tell our clients what they need to hear, not just what they want to hear.

<b>LEGISLATIVE</b> ADVOCACY
Utilizing experience, relationships, and knowledge of the process, we advocate on behalf our clientele directly with members of the Legislature and the Administration. We actively monitor and research legislation in the context of existing laws and regulations in order to identify and track issues that impact our clients. In addition, we provide clients with comprehensive legislative drafting services including writing of new legislation or amending pending bills. In order to effectively educate legislators and key decision-makers, we draft well-crafted campaign communications, including position papers summarizing the client’s position as well as any testimony to be presented before legislative bodies. Lastly, we advise clients on any occurrences or trends that are likely to result in legislative activity in order to develop long-term strategies.

<b>STRATEGIC</b> COUNSEL
Developing a strategy – whether legislative, administrative or regulatory – is job one in policymaking and in politics. Sometimes a strategy might be as simple as who to talk to first, when to engage or who might be the best to convey a message but it also involves developing the tenor of outreach, determining the appropriateness of coalitions and analyzing every angle of a situation to determine a clear path forward. Bottom line – strategy matters. And there is no firm better to develop that strategy than GQHC.

<b>REGULATORY</b> ADVOCACY
AT GQHC we are keenly aware that policy making doesn’t end with the signing of a bill and that how policy is implemented by state agencies is just as critical to the success of our clients. Tapping into our deep knowledge of specific policy areas – energy, water, land use, financial services to name a few – we work within a wide range of state regulatory processes to advocate on behalf of our clients. We directly monitor and track proceedings of interest and engage as necessary and appropriate within those proceedings to ensure our client’s the maximum level of success.
