When it comes to public affairs, trust is crucial for a successful campaign. But traditional sources once considered trustworthy are seeing a shift. To be successful for our clients we need to continually adapt to a changing political environment. My latest thoughts based on the work of the Public Affairs Council and the Pew Research Center. #publicrelations #publicaffairs #publicopinion #grassroots #advocacy #advocacymatters #campaignstrategy https://lnkd.in/em_br3dB
