We are happy to announce that the JAMES Magazine 2026 TOP LOBBYISTS ISSUE is here!
In this issue we reveal our annual rankings of Georgia’s top governmental affairs firms, associations and top 100 registered lobbyists. These professionals work for both government and private entities throughout the year using their skills and relationships to present important public policy issues to our state lawmakers and leaders. We hope you will share and congratulate the individuals and organizations recognized.
