Central House Strategies

  • "Central House Strategies provided one of the most engaging and productive consulting sessions that our organization has ever had! They supported and empowered our team to build a legislative program that made space for their skill sets and furthered our organization's mission and values. Former and current staff at Forward Montana continue to remark that the time spent with Central House Strategies was one of the most valuable experiences they've had at our organization."

    — Amara Reese Hansell, Deputy Director, Forward Montana

  • “Central House Strategies ran one of the nation's most successful pro-library policy campaigns in 2023, passing proactive legislation in a hostile environment and successfully defending against multi-prong attacks on our public institutions. Their expertise in policy strategy, outreach, and stakeholder development was invaluable. They were true partners in our work, and anyone would be lucky to work with them.”

    — John Chrastka, Executive Director, EveryLibrary, the national PAC for libraries

  • "The team at Central House are tireless advocates who know the value of authentic relationship building. I've never felt more confident that all ground was being covered - thoughtfully and strategically. Moreover, their poise and professionalism in the face of seemingly insurmountable pressures is nothing short of miraculous."

    — Amy Sings In The Timber, Executive Director, Montana Innocence Project

  • "Central House Strategies worked on Bridgercare's funding bills during Montana's 2021 Legislative Session. As a reproductive health non-profit, we have many vested groups with diverse strategies and goals. Rossi used their incredible experience and vast network to advocate for our needs and win us the best possible outcomes. I strongly recommend SK Rossi and Central House Strategies to non-profits looking for a well-rounded, experienced approach."

    — Stephanie McDowell, Executive Director, Bridgercare

  • "Hiring Central House to lobby on behalf of Bozeman made a world of difference. They have sharp political instincts and relationships across the political spectrum, making them phenomenal advocates on issues ranging from Tax Increment Financing provisions to green energy policies to local planning regulations. When CHS approaches a problem, they find a solution while considering all the various stakeholders. The City of Bozeman leveraged their unique skill set to achieve meaningful results at the Montana State Legislature. We look forward to continuing to work with Central House to advance the cause of local government for many legislative sessions to come."

    – Jeff Mihelich, City Manager, Bozeman, MT

  • "The entire Central House team were incredible advocates on important, commonsense, bipartisan juvenile legal system reform issues in the 2023 session. They offered valuable strategic advice and support, and we were able to see how respected Central House is in Helena even by lawmakers who oppose many of their efforts. I always felt like we were in good hands and had their full attention, even when I knew they were fighting on a million different fronts. Can't say enough kind words about this creative, smart, scrappy crew."

    — Gus Patel-Tupper, Berkeley Law Policy Advocacy Clinic

  • "Central House added enormous strength and capacity to our state policy work during the 2021 and 2023 Legislative Sessions. They are smart, savvy, and determined advocates. They have an impressive ability to truly listen and connect with people, which is an invaluable quality in the long-term work of policy change. We hope to have many future opportunities to work with Rossi and Central House Strategies."
