Lobbyist – The Mayforth Group
For 20 years, the Mayforth Group has advocated for a diverse set of clients across many sectors at both the state and federal levels of government. The team of Rick McAuliffe, Jeff Taylor, and Ben Shumate have a wealth of experience in government relations, issue advocacy and economic development. The Mayforth Group focuses extensively on state-level advocacy and has cultivated deep relationships with both the executive branch and the General Assembly. The Mayforth Group is in its 3rd year representing RIAPTA, in which the team has helped RIAPTA develop relationships with key legislators who are now carrying RIAPTA’s legislative priorities forward. The Mayforth Group prides itself on being accessible to its clients, and urges any RIAPTA member to reach out with questions at any time.
