Constituent Advocacy
Lawmakers listen to power. As a group we have power.
A seat at the table
Business have lobby groups. Its time for the people to have a lobby group that represents the needs of communities.
Control
Power comes from the people, but lawmakers are not listening to the people. Stone Consultants wants constituents to drive the direction of our future.
Democracy takes work
If we don’t advocate for ourselves Government wont create laws that support communities. Let’s engage!
