About Gina Mahony
If your organization needs to move legislation, influence federal policy, or build relationships on Capitol Hill, I can help. Thirty years in federal government relations — as a senior aide to House Leadership, SVP at a national advocacy organization, and now Managing Director at Cogent Strategies — have given me a rare combination of Hill relationships, policy depth, and strategic instincts across sectors ranging from major corporations to mission-driven nonprofits.I know how Washington works. And I know how to make it work for you. Reach out if your organization is navigating federal policy or building a Congressional strategy — I\'d welcome a conversation.
