Policy Language Drafting

Drafting new laws and regulations is an art as well as science. Every word has consequences and careful research should be done to ensure the language has the intended effect.

Whether it is reviewing an already drafted law or starting from a blank page, we have the experience and skill necessary to help clients be effective and successful in their policy goals.

Background

Building across-the-aisle relationships

Sharon Geuea Jones is the founding member of Jones advocacy group. As an attorney and lobbyist, she has advocated on behalf of her clients in the legislature, at the ballot box, and in the courts since 2002. Her specialty is blocking legislative proposals opposed by her clients. With connections to both Republican and Democratic leadership, she finds creative solutions to even the most difficult legislative fights. After obtaining her law degree in 2012, she expanded her efforts to include drafting ballot initiatives and legal briefing at the appellate level.

 

In 2019, she founded  Jones Advocacy Group, to better serve her clients. She regularly partners with other lobbyists to better meet the needs of their clients as well as her own.  Her years of active work in the legal and political community make for a unique network of connections. She has written multiple articles for professional publications and is a frequent speaker on topics of legislative action, legal strategy, and professional development. She currently resides in Columbia, Missouri.
