Capalino Welcomes Three New Team Members to Expand Lobbying Services
Capalino continues to expand its services as the leading urban strategy firm, and we are excited to welcome three new members to our team: Matt Green and Karina Jimenez are rounding out our already robust lobbying team, and Lucy Christensen will oversee Capalino’s Compliance department.
Capalino has been the top strategy firm for lobbying for over 30 years, having raised hundreds of millions of dollars, helped secure major government contracts, and advocated to approve, modify or eliminate legislation and regulation. Navigating New York’s political environment can be incredibly complicated, and we’re proud to expand our team to continue to help our clients get things done in New York.
