Policy at Every Level Matters

No policy stands alone. Local, state, and federal decisions are linked in ways that shape how communities experience change. To understand one, you have to see the others. 

State policy often takes center stage, driving big decisions on healthcare, education, voting rights, and taxes. But state policy does not exist in isolation, and its impact depends on strong local implementation. Cities and counties are often the ones carrying out these decisions, usually with limited resources and capacity, to make sure policies actually reach people on the ground. 

Federal policy matters just as much. National debates on climate, taxes, or civil rights set the parameters for what states can do and often provide the funding that makes local solutions possible. State leaders must understand these connections to design policies that not only look good on paper but actually deliver results in people’s lives. 

That is why at Chase Gen we push beyond a narrow focus. Our approach to policy creation considers the whole picture—state, local, and federal—and how these levels interact. Strong advocacy requires strategy that flows in all directions, connecting community voices to state agendas and aligning them with federal opportunities. 

If your team is ready to connect the dots, we are ready to partner.
