I have had the good fortune of knowing Pat for over a decade. His professionalism, work ethic, and honesty are second to none. If anyone is looking for assistance in public relations or international government affairs, Pat is the guy to call. I recommend him without hesitation.

Ultimately what sets Benchmark apart is that they work harder than anyone else in the room. They cover every hearing, every meeting and every event. They take regular meetings with stakeholders to keep your coalition informed and bought in, they cultivate relationships with every relevant staffer in the state, and track social media conversations for you to know where the discussion is. Most importantly, they communicate all that they're doing back to you, so you can make informed decisions about how to best spend your time.
