From Capitol Hill to the communities we serve. 🇺🇸

Grateful for the opportunity to join our clients, the Boonshoft Museum of Discovery and Five Rivers MetroParks, in Washington, D.C. this week to advocate for projects that strengthen education, outdoor recreation, quality of life, and economic vitality across our region.

These conversations with congressional offices are about more than funding requests — they’re about investing in the future of Dayton and ensuring our community continues to grow, innovate, and thrive for generations to come.

Proud to help tell the story of the incredible impact these organizations have on our region every single day.

Celebrating an incredible milestone for our region! 🎉

LMK Advocacy was proud to join the grand opening of WYSO Public Radio’s new headquarters at the historic Union Schoolhouse—now beautifully transformed into a modern, state-of-the-art creative studio.

This project is a powerful example of what can happen when community vision, public support, and private investment come together. With the remarkable generosity of Dave Chappelle and strong support from state leaders who helped secure funding for critical broadcast equipment, this space will serve as a lasting community asset for years to come.

We are especially grateful to the elected officials who took time to celebrate this moment: Senator Willis Blackshear, Representative Brian Lampton, Representative Andrea White, Representative Tom Young, and Sean Rhodes from Senator Koehler’s office. Thank you as well to Mayor Shanise Turner-Sloss and Mayor Steve McQueen for your continued leadership and support.

Projects like this strengthen our communities, elevate local voices, and preserve important pieces of our history—while positioning our region for the future. We are proud to support initiatives that make a lasting impact.

And while the schedule was full, it’s hard not to appreciate just how beautiful DC is in the spring—the perfect backdrop for meaningful conversations and progress.

Grateful for the opportunity to do this work and to represent organizations making a difference across Ohio.
