Headwaters Strategies brings 50 years of combined experience in public affairs, lobbying, issue advocacy, campaign advisement, and political strategy. Just as headwaters feed a river, our extensive relationships and unrivaled experience drive some of the state and region’s biggest policy outcomes—and we know Colorado from end to end.
Colorado’s legislative season may last five months, but the real work is year-round. Since our founding in 2009, we’ve successfully guided hundreds of bills through the process and stopped hundreds more midstream. We’ve been at the center of the state’s biggest policy debates for more than a decade and envisioned, advised, and executed some of the most important campaigns and ballot initiatives in our state’s history.
We have worked with corporations, nonprofits, trade and membership associations, unions, state agencies and more to craft smart policy and winning strategies. We are respected across the aisle and across the branches of government, and we maintain deep relationships inside and outside the state capitol. Legislators trust us because we are straight shooters–with them and with our clients.
We don’t shy away from tough fights—we win them. We tell you what’s possible—and then we get it done. We’re the headwaters of smart strategy, shaping the policies that shape Colorado.
