Capitol Hill Consulting Group

What Capitol Hill Consulting Group does

Capitol Hill Consulting Group (CHCG) is a Washington, DC-based bipartisan government relations firm providing specialized lobbying and policy advisory services to corporations, trade associations, Native American tribes and Alaska Native corporations, municipalities, and other organizations. The firm was founded by former Oklahoma Congressman Hon. Bill Brewster, who passed away in 2022, and is currently led by Partners Jack Victory (President), Brian Sutter (CEO), Steve Southerland (Senior Vice President), and Kristina Wilcox (COO). CHCG employs approximately 15-20 personnel across roughly 15-20 listed professionals including four Partners, seven or more Senior Vice Presidents, several legislative assistants, and a CFO.

The firm's service offering is organized by policy vertical rather than product, covering tax, trade, financial services, appropriations, environment, energy, health care, transportation, Alaskan and Native affairs, education, telecom and technology, and aerospace. The firm operates as a consulting practice rather than a software or platform business, with no proprietary technology stack. Service delivery centers on direct lobbying representation, strategic coalition building, appropriations support, fly-in coordination, federal agency liaison, and ongoing legislative updates published via its "On The Hill" content series.

CHCG generates revenue exclusively through professional services fees negotiated on a per-client, multi-year contract basis, with no public pricing disclosure. Go-to-market relies on direct enterprise engagement and professional referral networks in the Washington policy community. The firm maintains three affiliated organizations (International Policy Solutions, Opportunity Funds Association, Capitol Funding Solutions) that extend its policy footprint but do not appear to be material revenue contributors. Marketing channels are limited to its website, regular "On The Hill" policy updates, and Twitter/X accounts (@capitolhillcg and @caphillgrp).
