Susan Hirschmann has not been off Capitol Hill for long, but she is already making an impact on K Street.

Hirschmann, a former top aide to then-Majority Whip Tom DeLay (R-Texas), has teamed up with one of her partners at Williams & Jensen to launch a grassroots lobbying shop that offers corporations coordinated, campaign-style lobbying drives.

The new shop, called Integrated Legislative Strategies LLC, aims to serve a growing number of companies that want their Washington lobbyists to organize robust lobbying efforts that pair grassroots public relations programs and coalition-building with traditional lobbying.

Integrated Legislative Strategies will organize and carry out the grassroots and coalitions work, while Williams & Jensen will provide the on-the-ground lobbying duties.

To run the operation, Hirschmann hired Anthony Zagotta from the DCI Group, one of the few K Street shops

that couples lobbying campaigns with grassroots activism.

Hirschmann and Zagotta unveiled their new grassroots outfit in a Feb. 4 letter to prospective clients. The duo met years ago through the College Republicans.

Bertram Carp, a vice president at Williams & Jensen, also will work for the new grassroots shop.
