Founded in 2018 by preeminent lobbyist Hannah Garagiola, Compass Advocacy is headquartered in the heart of Annapolis. In addition, we operate a government relations and law office in downtown Rockville, Maryland. We also advocate in Dover, Delaware. Our team is comprised of passionate lobbyists, consultants, creatives, attorneys, and problem-solvers ready to advocate for our clients.
Each Compass business can work independently or synergistically to meet a client’s needs. Oftentimes, a client uses the services of all three businesses to accomplish their objectives. We work together efficiently with spirit, hunger, and dedication.
In a team-driven model, help clients navigate challenging issues – whether in the legal, government relations, or public relations realm.
