What our clients say

  • The Johnston Group has helped Woodinville successfully compete for federal funds through exceptional counsel and support. Jake’s strategic vision and deep understanding of the federal process has positioned our City into strong partnerships with our congressional delegation and within our region. I recommend the Johnston Group to other jurisdictions without hesitation.”

    Mayor Mike Millman, City of Woodinville

  • “In rural health care, advocacy efforts can make the difference between success and failure.  When navigating the labyrinth of Federal policymaking, you need a trusted guide.  Jake has been that guide for Skyline Hospital.  Jake has grown into a trusted thought partner for Skyline, and he has the DC relationships to turn those thoughts into action.  Skyline highly recommends the Johnston Group.”

    Matt Kollman, CEO, Skyline Health

  • “The Johnston Group understands complex federal health policy and the federal funding environment. Island Health has benefitted from working with Jake to bring needed funding and policy support to Island Health and we appreciate his work in Washington D.C. and here at home. Jake gets the critical importance and vitality that rural hospitals bring to their community, and I recommend the firm to any rural hospital seeking policy or funding support.”

    Elise Cutter, CEO, Island Health

  • “Jake is not only an advocate; he is a teacher and mentor. He has helped us learn to pay attention to the needs of our elected officials, so that we can offer solutions that meet their needs as well as ours. We literally would not be in the place we are today, on a path of partnership with our lawmakers, without his skillful guidance and deep reservoir of knowledge. We can't speak highly enough of Jake.”

    Jamie Maciejewski, Executive Director, Habitat for Humanity of East Jefferson County

  • “The Johnston Group delivers a hands on approach to strategizing with the City to develop our policy agenda. Their strength is their ability to work with the City both locally and in Washington DC to building strong relationships with our federal partners.”

    Mayor Keith McGlashan, City of Shoreline

  • “The Johnston Group has helped Skagit Valley Hospital partner with our congressional delegation to meet the healthcare needs of our community. The collaborative approach has led to much needed federal funding as well as supportive policy development.”

    Gregg Davidson, CEO, Skagit Regional Health

  • “The Johnston Group has helped our City develop our relationships with our congressional delegation. Jake understands the process, the timelines and the process of the federal funding landscape. He helps us make the right requests at the right time in the right way.”

    Mayor Jerry Smith, City of Mountlake Terrace

  • “Jake is without a doubt one of the top minds in public affairs, government relations, appropriations work and legislative consulting in the business. It is rare to find someone with such a complete background yet Jake has it. I have zero hesitation in recommending him and the services he provides.”

    Tom Boyer, Director of Government and Public Affairs, Novo Nordisk

  • "Working with Jake Johnston from the Johnston Group was a wonderful experience for the City of Carnation. He is both professional and personable. His knowledge of federal funding strategies and opportunities is immeasurable and led to the City obtaining $1.5 Million from the federal government for our Community Center and Emergency Operations Center in conjunction with our new Town Hall. We would choose the Johnston Group again and recommend the firm to other small and medium sized cities."

    Mayor Kim Lisk, City of Carnation

  • "The Johnston Group are exceptionally skilled legislative strategists. Their strategic approach placed our organization at the top of mind with our legislators leading to the acquisition of two federal appropriations. What’s most impressive is the ingenuity and strength of direction they provide us. They quickly size up a situation, with our long-term strategy in focus, tactically directing our actions towards the best possible outcomes. The Johnston Group is like no other. The relationship is invaluable to me and I fully recommend their services."

    Cathy Bambrick, Administrator, Astria Toppenish Hospital
