“ ‘You have to be careful who you send to Washington ... you need to make sure you're sending someone savvy, who knows their way around and can make sure your viewpoint is heard,’ said Jack Connors, the Democratic Chairman of the [NJ State] Assembly Military and Veterans Affairs Committee. ‘There's no room for amateurs and Barry Rhoads is no amateur.’ ”
“ ‘It makes what we’re doing much more of an art than a science,’ said Barry Rhoads, Chief Executive Officer of The Rhoads Group. ‘You’ve got to really be willing to pivot based on whatever happens.’ Rhoads added, ‘We’re actively engaged with our clients, doing appropriations meetings every day. We don’t just work Capitol Hill, but we work the agencies.’ ”
“Actus has hired an influential lobbying shop — The Rhoads Group — to increase its profile in Congress and at the Defense Department. ‘Lobbying is not what we do,’ said [Actus Vice President Chris] Sherwood, who added that having a connection in Washington helps the company. ‘The biggest challenge is getting the message out and getting the information up and down the chain in the military, educating people on what privatization really is,’ Sherwood said.”
“ ‘Meridian [MS] Mayor John Robert Smith told the Associated Press that [Barry] Rhoads had ‘the best track record in the nation in defending bases. If he is hired by another state, we have lost our strongest proponent and we've gained a strong opponent.’ ” |
