“The work of the Florida Capitol Advocates team is rock solid, highly effective, well- positioned, and critical to on-the-ground advocacy in Florida. When experience, connections, insights, and strategy count, this is the firm to engage. The legislative results they have garnered for our industry are priceless.”

The David A. Straz, Jr. Manatee Hospital at Tampa’s Lowry Park Zoo is the only critical care facility of its kind anywhere. John Grant and Florida Capitol Advocate Group have consistently been exemplary ambassadors of our work. From the passage of House Bill 457 recognizing the Zoo as a center for Florida wildlife conservation and biodiversity to ongoing support for our critical care work with manatees and other Florida wildlife, they help us to develop practical strategies to keep legislators informed and to leverage limited public funds for the maximum benefit of Florida species we protect and communities we serve.

As our State Government Lobbyist Mark Anderson has represented the interests of Brown Mackie College Miami for years. Brown Mackie College is one of many proprietary school systems owned by EDMC (Education Management Corporation) and operating across the United States and in Canada with multiple locations in the state of Florida. As the president of BMC Miami I’ve had the opportunity to interact with Mark and benefit from his wealth of knowledge. He not only serves our interests in the area of proprietary education but extends his service to include multiple levels of insight into areas that affect our business, community and personal interests as residents of the state. Mark communicates to us in a language we understand, but just as comfortably speaks the language that opens doors in Tallahassee. In the 17 years I’ve been in education and having done so in three different states I must say Mark is the most professional, knowledgeable and successful lobbyist I’ve had the opportunity to work with to represent our interests.
