Chamber leaders play a key role in determining the viability of hundreds or thousands of bills becoming law each session. These leaders assign powerful committee chairmanships, determine which committees each bill goes to, and have great sway over if and when legislation comes up for a full vote. Legislative leaders are the epicenter of power in their chamber and state. Building positive relationships with these leaders can be critical to ensuring legislative success for years to come. Developing relationships with lawmakers ascending leadership ranks is even more important.
