Dr. Bernice A. KingCEO, The King Center“Andrew Long is one of those successful lobbyists with the unique ability to build support and consensus on both sides of the political aisle. He played a vital role in developing and executing the strategy behind Georgia’s first Certificate of Need reforms in a decade, expanding access to cancer care for patients across the state.”
Ray WilliamsVice President, Georgia Government Relations, Cancer Treatment Centers of America“A. R. Long Company was extremely helpful in resolving an erroneous unemployment benefits filing with the Georgia Department of Labor during the strain of the pandemic. They connected us with the right leadership quickly and brought the matter to resolution far faster than we could have on our own.”
