K Street’s biggest shops, including Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld and the BGR Group, are among those with undetermined plans. Ditto, so far, for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Realtors, the two biggest-spending lobbying groups.
“We had planned to be on the ground in Charlotte and Milwaukee and actively involved,” Shannon McGahn, senior vice president of government affairs for the Realtors’ lobby, said in an email sent through a spokesman. “However, we realize the situation is fluid, and we are monitoring events and looking for new ways to participate. No decision has been made.”
McGahn noted that her group had recently held a “very successful” virtual legislative meeting with more than 30,000 real estate agents participating. “We will continue to innovate in this way to keep our members connected to the decision-makers in Washington,” she said.
Even with the decision to move the main highlights of the GOP convention, Republicans organizing the quadrennial event said they were working with K Streeters and their clients on possible events.
“We’re excited for the convention celebration in Jacksonville and continue to engage businesses and trade associations on opportunities for their involvement with events, activations and key sponsorship opportunities,” Tatum Gibson, the 2020 Republican National Convention’s national press secretary, said in an email to CQ Roll Call.
