"Samson Advisors have proven themselves time and again to be a perfect fit for Procter & Gamble's demanding and highly complicated policy agenda in Sacramento. Their ability to master the policy while navigating political realities makes them second-to-none."

"Samson Advisors' knowledge of the California political process, legislative strategy, and ability to understand and help analyze complicated policy issues has been invaluable to the California New Car Dealers Association.
