The 89th Texas Legislative Session may still be a few months away, but the policy-making groundwork is already underway. Successful businesses know that effective advocacy requires a proactive, strategic approach - and that means getting involved early. Here are three reasons why engaging government relations experts like our team at GRPR now, before the session even begins, is so crucial: 1.     Actively Engage in Policy Discussions - When you start your advocacy efforts early, you gain the opportunity to actively participate and contribute to the policy discussions. This positions you strategically to play an important role in the legislative process. Our GRPR team specializes in conducting in-depth research, analyzing proposed legislation and developing tailored strategies to ensure your priorities are heard. 2.     Build Key Relationships - Cultivating trusted connections with policymakers and their staff is essential for amplifying your voice. But developing these relationships takes time - time that's best invested well before the session kicks off. GRPR's seasoned government affairs professionals have decades of experience navigating the Texas Capitol and maintaining strong, productive relationships with key decision-makers. 3.     Monitor Developments in Real-Time - Keeping up with the constant churn of bills, hearings and votes requires specialized expertise. The GRPR team provides the comprehensive legislative tracking and analysis you need to respond quickly to new threats or opportunities as they arise. Early engagement is the key to legislative success and our team at GRPR is ready to be your ultimate partner.

It's been a busy few weeks! Excited to share my analysis of the Campaign for Science and Engineering's first 2024 poll ahead of the General Election (though from today's speculation, perhaps not as far 'ahead' as we're hoping!? 🤔) In March and April 2024 we surveyed 2,011 UK adults, asking questions that examined people’s understanding of economic growth, the connection between R&D and growth, along with jobs in R&D, and trust in scientists. It's been fascinating delving into the detail of these polling results with Rebecca Hill - here are some key takeaways: 📈 Economic Growth | The public feel confident in their understanding of economic growth and naturally link this to R&D investment. >>Some 65% of respondents felt it was clear how investing in R&D would grow the economy. 👷♀️ 💼 Jobs | The public want to see long-lasting, stable jobs, and jobs for people at the start of their careers – both of which they associate with R&D jobs. 🏡 Local R&D | There is broad support for local R&D facilities, regardless of the organisation setting them up, and most people would like their MP to actively campaign for them to be in their constituency (60%). 🤝 Trust | Scientists are very well trusted to talk about the benefits, results and funding of R&D. >>The public sees scientists’ familiarity to the R&D subject area not as a source of bias but rather as a benefit when communicating with the public. 📊 You can explore the full data set and findings from this poll on our website ⬇ ⬇
