Results & Legislative Victories
Measurable outcomes from principal-led government affairs strategy in Texas.
How We Deliver Results
Intelligence & Assessment
Every engagement begins with a thorough assessment of the regulatory and legislative landscape affecting your business. We identify specific bills, rulemaking proceedings, and agency actions that create risk or opportunity — using our Legislative Insights platform for data-driven analysis.
Strategy Development
We build tailored strategies based on the specific political dynamics of your issue — committee assignments, member relationships, agency jurisdiction, and stakeholder alignment. James Dickey personally develops every strategy, drawing on relationships built as State Party Chairman.
Execution & Advocacy
Strategy without execution is academic. We engage directly with legislators, committee staff, agency officials, and stakeholders. When specialized expertise is needed, we bring in vetted partners from our network — with your approval on every addition.
Implementation & Monitoring
Legislative victories are only the beginning. We track rulemaking, agency implementation, and enforcement to ensure favorable outcomes survive the translation from bill text to operational reality. Our monitoring continues through Sunset reviews and future legislative sessions.

What results has JD Key Consulting achieved?
JD Key Consulting has delivered measurable outcomes across the Texas 89th Legislature including successful legislative advocacy for data center, energy, banking, and manufacturing clients. Results include favorable bill outcomes, regulatory positioning, tax incentive negotiations, and strategic stakeholder engagement that shaped policy outcomes.
How does JD Key measure government affairs success?
Success in government affairs is measured by concrete outcomes: bills passed or defeated, regulatory frameworks shaped, tax incentives secured, and agency relationships built. JD Key tracks specific bill numbers, committee actions, and rulemaking outcomes tied to each client engagement. The firm's Legislative Insights platform provides data-driven progress tracking.
What makes an effective Texas lobbyist?
The most effective Texas lobbyists combine deep relationship networks with strategic acumen and subject-matter expertise. Key differentiators include principal-level engagement (not junior associates), direct relationships with committee chairs and agency leaders, the ability to build coalitions across party lines, and a track record of measurable legislative outcomes.
Does JD Key Consulting work on both sides of the aisle?
Effective government affairs in Texas requires working across party lines. While James Dickey served as Chairman of the Republican Party of Texas, JD Key Consulting builds bipartisan relationships and coalitions needed to advance client interests. Texas legislative success often requires support from members of both parties, particularly in the Senate where the two-thirds rule applies.
