I had the pleasure of working with Ms. Erickson on numerous issues throughout my time in both the Minnesota House of Representatives and the Minnesota Senate. Her knowledge of legislative strategy, communications expertise, political, community and business connections are a benefit to any client.

Tara brought our advocacy engagement to a whole new level than what we had done in the past. She knew when ACOG members should participate in public policy discussions and could easily draft messaging specific to targeted audiences. Her connections to decision makers at the Capitol and within media helped our organization immensely.
