Robert Garagiola

With nearly 30 years of legal, legislative, public relations, and advocacy experience, I am uniquely qualified to meet all our client’s needs. As a former state Senator and Majority Leader, I have been directly involved in healthcare, energy, gaming, tax, and many other issues. As a former senior Congressional staffer to U.S. Rep. Frank Pallone, Chairman of the powerful House Energy & Commerce Committee, I have had the opportunity to engage on healthcare policy at the federal level. As an entrepreneur and airborne soldier who served in the U.S. Army Reserve, I understand what it means to work hard and get results. Using my experiences, I now enjoy helping clients as a partner in each of the three distinct Compass Advocacy businesses. Compass Advocacy uses a team-driven model to help clients navigate challenging issues – whether in the legal, government relations, or public relations realm. Compass Law Partners focuses on business, employment and commercial leasing matters. Compass Government Relations Partners has top lobbyists in MD, DE and DC, including local governments. Compass Public Relations & Consulting Partners has decades of grassroots, digital media, polling, and crisis management experience.
