Own relationships with ~1015 key GOP offices and relevant committee staff. Build lean coalitions (fiscal conservatives, accountability, pro-innovation) when they accelerate passage. Ship, measure, iterate: test ideas with staff, refine from feedback, track progress to enactment. Advance pragmatic animal welfare improvements when policy windows appear. What success looks like
