Mattoon & Associates is a government relations firm lead by veteran Republican lobbyist Dan Mattoon.  With over 35 years of experience in Washington D.C. , Dan has built a solid reputation for achieving results for a diverse range of clients including large coalition groups with complex legislative goals. He is widely respected among Members of Congress, Congressional staff, and peers.  Dan has assembled a small but talented team of lobbyists who are proficient in every aspect of the legislative process.

In addition to providing strategic advice and counsel, Mattoon & Associates is adept at implementing the tactics necessary for a successful legislative campaign. Dan's expertise in all aspects of the Congressional process - from the subcommittee and committee levels to Rules Committee, to floor tactics through conference committee deliberations – has proven to be an invaluable resource to the firm's clients.  Such know-how becomes even more important in a defensive climate for business interests and this is a particular area where Mattoon & Associates can be of unique value to your team.  “Fixing” or “sabotaging” a process is something he has had a great deal of experience doing over the years.

The firm boasts an extensive range of relationships on Capitol Hill, ensuring our clients have the opportunity to be heard among Washington 's key policy and decision-makers.  Mattoon & Associates has also been very involved in “coalition building” over the years.  During the 2005 surface transportation bill debate, Dan successfully headed up a coalition to include a provision in the final bill to federally pre-empt the states and eliminate “vicarious liability” against rental and leased cars and trucks. In 2007, he was part of a coalition which extended the moratorium on internet taxation through 2014.

We welcome the opportunity to assist you with your legislative goals.
