GovBuddy Connect
Know the room before you walk in.
Connect is the verified directory of everyone who moves policy: legislators, their chiefs of staff, committee consultants, and lobbyists. See who owns your issue, where they came from, and exactly who to reach.
Career capsules
Walk in knowing exactly who you're talking to.
Every chief of staff and senior aide comes with a career capsule: where they worked, who they came up under, how long they've held the seat, and the issues they own.
Find the mutual connection and the right angle before the meeting, not after it's over.
Ask who to connect with
Ask the directory who to talk to.
Describe the issue or office you're after. Connect searches the full directory, legislators, staff, committees, and lobbyists, and hands you a ranked list of the people who actually own it, with the reason each one matters.
No more scrolling a static list. You get the right name, role, and a reason to reach out, first try.
Committee intelligence
Route every bill to the person who writes the analysis.
Committee consultants shape a bill more than most members ever will. Connect breaks each committee down by staffer and issue area, so your ask lands on the desk it actually crosses.
See who covers your topic, who runs the hearing, and who to loop in before the vote.
And the fundamentals you expect
Verified, current, and always in your pocket.
Since 1973
The Little Red Book every lobbyist kept, now it thinks.
For 50 years, Capitol Directories told advocates who matters. Connect carries that trust forward: the same accuracy, now searchable, updated all year, and layered with the staff intelligence that turns a contact list into a strategy.
- Career capsules for chiefs of staff and senior aides
