Washington, D.C. – November 14, 2023 – Today, Keith Pemrick, Co-founder and Managing Partner of Commonwealth Strategic Partners (CSP), and Katie Hazlett, Vice President, Federal Government Affairs, were both named by the National Institute of Lobbying and Ethics (NILE) as 2023 Top Lobbyists.

Every year, NILE collects nominations for federal lobbyists working for associations and non-profits, corporations, large firms, and small firms. Lobbyists are nominated by their peers or clients and undergo a blind judgement process. Nominees are judged on success, innovation, and character. This is the first year that Pemrick and Hazlett were named to NILE’s list.

“I am enormously proud of Keith and Katie for their recognition as NILE Top Lobbyists,” said George McElwee, Co-founder and Managing Partner of CSP. “Both were nominated by clients, a reflection of CSP’s strong record of dedication and success. I am glad to see that record reflected in their nomination.”

“I am grateful to our clients for nominating Katie and me as top lobbyists,” Pemrick said. “We work hard every day to get them the results they deserve, and it is honor to know that hard work is so greatly appreciated by our clients. I look forward to continuing to work alongside them.”

“It is an honor to be named alongside so many other great lobbyists,” said Hazlett. “I thank our clients for nominating Keith and me. It is a privilege to work for them, and I am happy that they recognize our dedication to their success.”
