GCSI was voted "the best and most effective" multi-client lobbying firm by a wide margin. On the most effective lobbying firm question, GCSI received 37 percent of the vote, securing the top spot for each of the three times the survey has been conducted.  (The second place firm in this category received 18 percent).

GCSI placed 3 lobbyists in the top five and 4 in the top ten!  For the fourth straight year, Steve Young finished #1 followed by Nell Kuhnmuench finishing #2 and Mike Hawks finishing #4 in the survey.  In addition, GCSI lobbyist Kirk Profit finished #10. According to the Secretary of State there are over 1,432 registered lobbyists in Michigan.

The results came as part of the MIRS-EPIC/MRA Insider Survey, which was e-mailed to well over 1,000 lawmakers, lobbyists, association executives and executive branch officials over a three-week period that ended this past Monday at noon. The list was created using the Rossman Public Relations Lobby Guide as a base, adding all legislative offices (one per office) and crossing it against MIRS' readership base.
