About Us

William G. Batchelder III
1942-2022

Established in 2015, the Batchelder Company represents over 60 years of firsthand experience in Ohio’s state government process, and the knowledge of how to navigate the multifaceted systems of the legislative, executive and judicial branches. Our ability to understand and simplify these complexities make it easier for clients to successfully achieve their goals and objectives.

Our firm’s top priority is to not only complete the mission for our clients, but do so with honesty and integrity. We strongly believe a winning strategy should also maintain the reputation of clients we serve. We founded our firm on the values and principles of former Ohio House Speaker, William G. Batchelder III who’s distinguished career in state government, finished as the second-longest service as a member of the legislature in Ohio history with 38 years.

Our Services

Direct Lobbying

Connecting you with the right people is one of the most important things we do for our clients. We attend each meeting with you and serve as your turnkey solution to scheduling, preparation, facilitation, and follow up with local officials, legislators, and executive agencies.

Monitoring & Tracking

We serve as your on-the-ground team to track, monitor, and respond to any legislative, regulatory, or political actions that may have an impact on you. We believe it is extremely important for you to have real-time information to appropriately engage with policymakers.

Issue Advocacy

We have extensive experience in managing a wide range of issue advocacy and awareness efforts within state government. From grassroots to grasstops, we can help you make an impact.

Coalition Building

With term-limits in Ohio, it has never been more important to have a strong presence and a powerful coalition of support to bring your issues to the top of the priority list of the executive and legislative branches of state government. We help identify individuals and organizations to serve as advocates to carry your message through personalized advocacy plans.

Message Development

Whether target audience is policy makers, the media, or for building a coalition of support, crafting a clear and impactful message is crucial. We can help you translate and summarize your issues into points that are easily understood by legislators by preparing content/copy of talking points, testimony, one-pagers, policy comparisons of status quo vs reforms, etc.

Campaign Management

Our careers in political campaign management have given us tremendous depth of knowledge and experience in everything from public opinion polling and script writing to data targeting, direct mail, online/air media advertising and issue advocacy management
