Specializing in Government Relations and Grass Roots Advocacy in Sacramento, CA. Scope of work includes advocacy at both state and congressional levels of government; organizing "lobby days" in Sacramento; conducting "How To Lobby" seminars, coordinating meetings and outreach events in state and congressional districts throughout California.Comments from Scott Sadler, Lobbying Firm of Lehman Levi Pappas & Sadler:"SB 190 was a legislative attempt by one manufacturer to use the legislative process to create a market advantage over other manufacturers of the same product. Dot Boyd organized and led a coalition of farmers, retailers and manufacturers to fight the legislation and defeat it, in a true David and Goliath situation. Effective advocacy depends on expertise, effort and timing. Dot demonstrated a unique ability in all three skills. She is an unparalleled expert on her issues. She can take a complicated situation and synthesize it down to the pertinent information a legislator needs to make a decision. She showed herself to be a tireless advocate, never wanting to stop for the day when there was one more member or staff to talk with. She also knew when to strike, looking at the legislative calendar and the likely path of the legislation. Dot’s effort led the coalition to victory as the Senate bill was stopped cold on the Assembly floor, even though it was authored by the Senate Majority Leader and was sponsored by the largest agriculture interest in CA, who is also one of the largest political donors in the state."
