Testimonials

 
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Dana (Capitol Advocacy Partners) for many years. We’ve walked the halls of Congress together, and in every instance found her to be on a first name basis with staff and our elected public servants alike. She is highly respected and equally skilled at navigating the complexities of Federal programs. A masterful writer, she pursues projects with the same if not greater passion than the originator. In my current role on our local school board, I’ve witnessed the effectiveness she and Amanda have had in securing several highly competitive grants for us, working tirelessly on behalf of children. Advocacy is a journey - Dana DeBeaumont and Amanda Fenton are the absolute best guides in the business.
— Craig Bueno, LVJUSD Board President

Dana and her team hit a home run for us right out of the gate as we joined their effective team—we did not have to wait a year or two for success, it was immediate with a major grant secured right away, this team knew the National issues that our youth were facing and how our program could effectively work to be a solution. And it is really, really a lot of fun working with Capitol Advocacy Partners, they are just that, a great partner, good friends, and not only do they believe in us, but inspire us to do our very best work, as they courageously champion and cheerlead for our team, and the communities we serve!

— Mark Lillis, CEO, Leaven Kids

The team at Capitol Advocacy has exceeded my highest expectations. Securing more than four million dollars in grant funds and earmarks in just one year, they have developed and strengthened new partnerships with essential stakeholders to help build community health and improve public safety service in the City of Vallejo. Most importantly, they are skilled professionals who care and they take the time to understand the needs, capabilities, and provide support to ensure success. Dana, Mary, and their team are “game changers” that have improved our system, relationships, and processes for years to come.
— Chief Shawny Williams, Vallejo Police Department

Amanda Fenton has been a fantastic representative for us on Capitol Hill and with the Executive branch. She is personable, professional, smart, hard-working, and detail-oriented. I am at ease knowing that she is looking after our interests in DC.
— Greg Richmond, Former President, National Association of Charter School Authorizers

Dana’s (Capitol Advocacy Partners) knowledge of the workings of the federal government is unparalleled. Her amazing effectiveness comes from the fact that she genuinely understands the issues and likes the players on Capitol Hill and that feeling is mutual. She is in a league of her own when it comes to working with the federal government.
— Jeffrey I. Cole, Ph.D., Director & CEO, Center for the Digital Future at USC Annenberg School

Dana and Amanda are outstanding grant writers as well as consultants on policy issues effecting cities. Their customer service and professionalism is beyond reproach. Over the last five years they have written three different grants for our city – all of which were awarded funding. Their grant writing enabled our city to obtain a school resource officer, an additional patrol officer and body worn cameras. Further, when rural cities like ours were eliminated from eligibility from a grant program, they were successful in getting the program amended so we could apply. We did and won! They know the issues and the questions to ask and neither settles for anything but the best for Capitol Advocacy Partner clients.
— Doug Dunford, City Manager, City of Gustine

As the executive director of a state advocacy organization, I have worked with consultants who are experts in policy and others who are specialists in lobbying. Amanda is unique in that she’s skilled at both. She’s a respected and credible authority on K-12 education, but she also has a sophisticated understanding of how things actually get done in the statehouse. Because she knows to ask the right questions and is a good listener, she’s always been responsive to the local needs of my state. And most importantly, she’s a pleasure to work with!
— Jon Cetel, Former Executive Director, PennCAN

Dana has helped our district and colleges build valuable relationships in DC. Under her strategic advisement, we secured funding for program development and student veterans. She organized a federal briefing when we wanted to build awareness for innovative initiatives that could assist students nationwide. She is genuinely committed to her clients and a joy to work with.
— Tere Fluegeman, Former Director of Public Affairs and Government Relations, South Orange County Community College District

Dana is really knowledgeable about how things work at the federal level and she has relationships with all the key players you need to get things done. She is also passionate about her work and cares about winning funding that makes a genuine difference in communities and the lives of people who live in them. With Dana’s help, we have been able to secure funding to expand both police and mental health services for youth in Hayward. Even after the funds have been spent, the impacts of this work are long lasting in our community.
— Emily Young, City of Hayward, Youth and Family Services Bureau
