Silver State Government Relations

What Silver State Government Relations does

Silver State Government Relations (SSGR) is a privately held, bipartisan government relations and lobbying firm headquartered in Carson City, Nevada. Founded by Will Adler, the firm provides legislative and regulatory advocacy services at the Nevada state legislature, governor's office, executive branch agencies, and local/county government levels. Its practice areas include renewable energy, natural resources, cannabis and CBD regulatory licensing, tribal government relations, economic development, and grant writing. The team combines two Principals (Will Adler and Sarah Adler, the latter a former USDA Rural Development State Director under two administrations), a Senior Associate (Alex Tanchek, with prior experience at the Retail Association of Nevada), and an Associate (Robert Purdy), totaling approximately six employees.

The firm's revenue model is professional services fees for direct advocacy and consulting engagements. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to client scope, with no publicly disclosed schedules. Go-to-market is relationship-driven and sales-led, with the firm relying on its reputation, demonstrated political-campaign wins (including the 2018 Sisolak gubernatorial campaign and the 2016 Question 2 recreational marijuana ballot initiative), and personal networks to secure enterprise and government clients. There are no technology products, software platforms, or AI-driven offerings; the value proposition rests entirely on insider relationships and bipartisan credibility.

SSGR serves a mix of enterprise clients and government/tribal entities, including WM (Waste Management), Stericycle, Southwest Gas, Avantus, Tract Capital, AnaCorp, the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe, Storey County, and the Northern Nevada Regional Development Authority (NNRDA) and Northern Nevada Development Authority (NNDA). The firm operates exclusively within Nevada and does not offer services in other states or internationally. There is no evidence of external institutional investment, parent company, or planned expansion outside its home market.
