In this severely complex realm, results are only achieved through a comprehensive understanding of the inner workings of the legislative process. McKeon Group possesses over 70 years of combined experience working in Congress – indeed we know every facet involved with enacting legislation. Whether statutory law, committee report language or shaping the regulatory process, our team’s proficiency is borne out of an immersion in the legislative process.

McKeon Group is also proud to be involved with the Reagan National Defense Forum, a bi-partisan national policy forum where leaders and key stakeholders in the defense community address the health of our national defense. As co-founders and organizers of this annual event, held at the Reagan Presidential Library, we’ve created a unique meeting of our country’s most influential minds. This summit is a convergence of the Secretary of Defense, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Service Chiefs, CEO’s of major defense companies, congressional leaders, television and print media, and think tank leaders. This elite initiative illustrates the breadth of contacts our firm can bring to the table – a critical factor for our clients. Our relationships with Capitol Hill, the Administration, and the entire governmental landscape is widespread, providing our clients a chance to state their case to key decision makers, both Republican and Democrat. In our political atmosphere, it’s essential to identify key targets and frame the manner of argument that will deliver results. McKeon Group is specifically designed to achieve these outcomes. While our core strengths reside in the areas of Defense, Education and Workforce issues, we are adept at navigating the legislative process, well equipped with providing clients strategic advice on a host of issues that cover multi-committees in Congress. Additionally, McKeon Group has a keen understanding of how to execute a broad public relations effort that can propel a campaign toward victory. We recognize that messaging must not only entail direct contact with key decision makers, but must also be accomplished through targeted media efforts that help influence outcomes.
Mission: Armed with a solutions-oriented approach, our over arching goal is to provide responsible and reliable services with proven results. McKeon Group works in intense collaboration with clients to address complex issues and craft creative solutions amid federal, state, and local government environments. We are a consulting and lobbying firm with an unequaled proficiency of creating a presence on Capitol Hill. McKeon Group adeptly crafts and implements messaging strategies, and raises the profile of a client’s initiative by getting it in front of key, influential figures. We comprehensively understand the process of a legislative bill – from start to finish – and we have existing, enduring bipartisan relationships throughout the government. And although our abilities span many segments, our specialties lie within the defense and education/workforce arenas. This strength is derived from the in-depth experience of Chairman Buck McKeon, who, having served as Chairman of both the House Armed Services Committee and the House Education and the Workforce Committee, maintains an accomplished record of enacting major legislative initiatives. The Chairman leads our charge, connecting clients with significant governmental players.

Our veterans who serve in the U.S. Armed Forces deserve the greatest honor and respect. On this day we pause as a country to pay thanks to those who have bravely answered our nation’s call to duty, and to reflect on their selfless service and sacrifice.
All of our veterans—whether active duty, discharged, reserve, or retired—have put their lives on the line to defend our freedoms. Today, I extend my unwavering gratitude for their lifetime of heroic sacrifice.

During my lifetime, there have been many stories shared in our family about the Spanish Flu Pandemic of 1918 that ravished the world for two years.
There exists a misconception that Spain was affected by the H1N1 flu in 1918 disproportionately, but those of us that study history will recall that the Great War was ravaging Europe at the time, Spain remained neutral in the conflict. As a neutral country, the Spanish Press was able to report on the global pandemic with fewer restrictions than their war-torn neighbors. The Spanish news dominated the global headlines with regards to the pandemic, and the name unfortunately stuck till today. It is estimated that about 500 million people or one-third of the world’s population became infected with this virus. The number of deaths was estimated to be at least 50 million worldwide with about 675,000 occurring in the United States.
It has really hit home to me seeing as we are dealing with the COVID—19 Pandemic.
My grandparents lived in the small town of Milford, Utah which is about two hundred miles southwest of Salt Lake City. My grandparents had several children. My uncle Burt, who was the fourth son to my grandparents right after my father, died of Spanish Flu in the winter at age four. The family was devastated, particularly my grandmother who was sick herself. Yet, putting aside their personal tragedy, my grandfather and his eldest, my uncle Jack, would go to each neighbor and offer to bring milk and groceries and help in whatever way they could.
I am reminded of that story when I see the news now; that even though some of us have suffered insurmountable pain there too have been so many wonderful things that Americans have done to help their friends, family and neighbors and I am hopeful and optimistic that we will get through this together.
The pandemic has caused us to experience very uncertain and tumultuous economic times. The House and Senate have passed the CARES Act, President Trump has signed it into law. Direct payments to everyday Americans have commenced and economic relief for businesses both large and small are being implemented.
To our clients and prospective clients: the McKeon Group will help them to be a part of this recovery in any way we can. We will bounce back and we will get back to the amazing economy that we were experiencing before this tragedy struck.
Our resilience and resolve as Americans are resolute.
I hope that all of you that are reading this will be continued to be blessed with good health. We will survive this, the economy will survive this, and we will be able to move forward and enjoy what we had before this thing hit us and I want you to know that we, the McKeon Group, are here to help in any way we can.
Remember to stay at home as long as your told to do so, wash your hands, don’t touch your face and follow the expert’s guidelines.

All the best,

"The caprine contractors included Vincent van Goat, Selena Goatmez and Goatzart. They helped save exhibits including an Air Force One jet and a piece of the Berlin Wall."

To keep America safe, does the Federal Bureau of Investigation really need almost unfettered access to Americans’ health records, DNA test results, and even private conversations overheard by digital assistants like Alexa and Siri?

Section 215 needs major reforms to safeguard core American liberties from government overreach.
Elijah Cummings came to Congress the term after I did. We never served on a Committee together, but we had a great relationship. I respected his service and the fact that he was a man of great principles. He will be missed by me personally, and his service in the Congress will be missed by his constituents and the nation. I offer my condolences to his family and loved ones.

The Antelope Valley Transit Authority calculated a savings of more than $46 million over the lifetime of its fleet purely as a result of going electric. That nets out to a savings of $46,000 per bus per year, which makes a strong case for converting over to a fully electric fleet by itself.
The Antelope Valley Transit Authority is peeling the plastic off of the first three high-speed wireless bus chargers for its network of zero-emissions buses this week. The three new inductive chargers will operate at 250 kW speeds that will allow its fleet of fully electric BYD buses roaming around....
