What We Do
Research is where we start. Enacted law is where we finish.
FGA runs a full federal operation—original research, voter polling, direct engagement on the Hill and at the agencies, and broad coalitions. Every piece of the operation aimed at one outcome: enacted reform.
01Research
Numbers Washington can’t argue with
FGA analysts work federal and state data to expose what’s broken and price the cost of inaction. Congress gets the proof. The press gets the story.
02Polling
Voters were ahead of D.C. all along.
Our Center for Excellence in Polling shows lawmakers exactly where voters stand. FGA’s reforms aren’t just good policy. They’re already winning politics.
03Engagement
An expert resource for the Hill.
FGA meets directly with members and the executive branch to provide research and policy briefings, testifies before committees, and is an expert resource for staff so they have the facts they need to win the policy debate.
04Coalitions
Coalitions Washington can’t ignore
FGA unites state-based partners, policy allies, and on-the-ground experts behind every fight. By the time a bill reaches the floor, the coalition is already in place.
