Research the Political and Policy Landscape

Keeping up with legislative proposals isn’t always enough — what about current law? A comprehensive statutory, regulatory, or political analysis is a starting point to identify opportunities and challenges. MultiState’s research experts will locate, sort, compile, and analyze the mountains of state and local data to provide you with a complete picture of the landscape your organization faces. We also help clients understand continually evolving state and local political trends and how political changes affect their organization and objectives. We’ll do the legwork to make you an expert.

Get Started

What’s the Landscape in Each State?

You’ve got to start somewhere. Let MultiState’s research experts get you up to speed with the legislative or regulatory landscape on your issues. Our public policy experts will dive into the thick statutory and regulatory codes in each jurisdiction, break down the legalese, call agencies for clarification, and provide you with a straightforward overview of your issues in all 50 states and hundreds of local jurisdictions. Armed with this baseline data, we can work with you toward moving the needle.

Next-Level Analysis

A policy and political audit allows your organization to target its resources for the greatest chance of success. Laws are more than static words. The people that shape them and how they think are as important as the words themselves. You can rely on MultiState’s researchers and strategy experts, while also taking advantage of our industry-leading network of on-the-ground lobbyists to identify where your greatest opportunities or steepest obstacles lay.

Show Me the Data

Today, data formatting and presentation is just as important as the quality of the information. MultiState’s engineers team up with our researchers and design professionals to provide custom data formatting to meet your needs. Whether you need a glossy, camera-ready report for your Board or an API feed to populate your internal models, MultiState will deliver.

No Project Too Big or Small

Do you need a one-time snapshot, or an ongoing, continuously updated dashboard? MultiState has delivered dozens of research projects — of all scopes and sizes — every year for decades. Sometimes, all you need is a quick overview of the lay-of-the-land to set the stage as you begin a new project. Other times, you may need to constantly re-evaluate the landscape with MultiState experts checking for updated data on a continuous basis. We’ll design research deliverables to meet your needs.

One Step Further: Policy Recommendations

Because our research analysts are issue experts, we can provide analysis and policy recommendations based on our findings. Sometimes the data isn’t enough — what can you do with the information to move the needle for your organization? From crafting policy to recommending an advocacy plan, we can help you put your data to work for you.
