Request for Proposals: Legislative Consultant
Posted: January 28, 2026
Summary of Need: The Hill Country Alliance is seeking proposals for Legislative Consulting Services. The goal of this contract is to provide expert consulting services to assist the organization in navigating legislative matters effectively at the Texas Legislature through the interim and the 70th regular session.
Scope of Work: We believe building a public affairs and government relations program is a multi-year process. Pending performance and culture fit, the selected contractor will report to the Communities Program Manager and work with multiple members of staff from the commencement of the contract through the end of the regular session in May 2027. The contract will begin with a three-month probationary period and include a 30-day opt out clause for both parties.
Proposal Elements: Please include the following:
- An engagement plan for 2026 and 2027, including expected time required for both years.
- Experience highlighting previous work, areas of expertise, and capacity to fully execute the functions outlined in the proposal.
- Price your work. Work will be paid on retainer rather than an hourly basis.
- A list of at least three clients for whom you have lobbied within the past five years and an example of successful efforts managed on their behalf.
- Include the client name, contact name, email, and phone number.
