🏛️The next year will bring significant transition. A large number of U.S. senators and House members are preparing to step away from public office in 2026, along with governors in dozens of states. In a new column for HBS, Senator @RoyBlunt, one of only two Americans in congressional history elected to leadership positions in both the House and the Senate, shares what he's learned about what public service asks of us after the title is gone. hbstrategies.us/senator-roy-bl… #HBS #leadership

Bloomberg Government @BGOV has ranked HBS 51 out of 360 firms in its 2025 Top Lobbying Firms report, placing the firm in the top 15% nationwide. HBS posted nearly 28% revenue growth year over year, outpacing many of the firm’s competitors. The report, which tracks federal lobbying revenue across the country's top government affairs practices, also cited HBS Leadership Strategies Chairman and former U.S. Senator @RoyBlunt in companion coverage on the evolving influence landscape in Washington. HBS CEO @andyblunt noted, “None of this happens without the people doing the work. The results reflect a team that shows up every day for clients across federal, state, and public affairs — and clients who trust us to deliver. We're proud of both.” hbstrategies.us/bloomberg-rank… #HBS #OneFirmNationwideAdvocacy #TopLobbyists

Why do internships matter in government affairs? HB Strategies EVPs Rochelle Mallett and Stacy McBride make the case: meaningful, hands-on experience - whether in state capitals or Washington, D.C. - builds the next generation of leaders. Stacy and Rochelle write that internships should be more than resume lines - they should be genuine learning experiences that help launch careers - and that philosophy shapes everything we do with the HB Strategies Internship program. Research shows that interns are 85% more likely to secure full-time employment after graduation, with approximately 70% receiving at least one job offer. From state legislatures to Capitol Hill, our interns work on real policy challenges alongside our government affairs professionals - paid positions that create real opportunities for their future. Read their full perspective on why quality internships matter. hbstrategies.us/building-tomor… #HBStrategies #interns

What if the 2026 House majority is decided before Election Day? That is the reality HB Strategies CEO Andy Blunt explores in his latest election snapshot focused on next year’s midterm elections. While Senate battlegrounds in Georgia, Michigan, and Ohio grab headlines, a pending Supreme Court decision on redistricting could add up to 14 House seats for Republicans - or limit their gains to just 5.
