We make legislation easy.

Government shapes what your organization can do. CivicNexus tells you which decisions affect you, what to do about them, and helps you act in time. Other tools assume you're already a lobbying expert. We put the expertise in the product instead.

Who we built this for

Two kinds of organizations use CivicNexus. One needs to know what to do. The other already knows, and needs their hours to go further. We built for both.

If you don't know where to begin

Businesses & nonprofits new to government affairs

Government decisions affect you, but nobody ever taught you how to respond. You don't know which department to call, who actually decides, or what a productive first step looks like. So the work keeps getting postponed.

  • The small business owner who keeps getting regulated and never gets a say
  • The executive director protecting their mission with no government affairs staff
  • The compliance lead at a regional bank who can't afford to miss a bill

Start with Plan. We hand you the department strategy and the per-bill guidance a lobbyist would give you, so your first move is the right one.

If you already know what to do

Government affairs teams, advocates & lobbyists

You track bills, draft testimony, and show up at hearings. The strategy isn't your problem. The problem is that chasing updates, diffing versions, and rebuilding documents eats the week you'd rather spend on relationships.

  • Policy directors running a full session with a small team
  • Lobbyists who know the playbook but want every hour to count
  • Advocates covering more bills and more states without adding headcount

Start with tracking. Detect, Decide, and Deliver take the busywork off your plate so your judgment covers more ground.

What both groups have in common

One missed bill can put your business economics or your mission at risk. Your job is to make sure nothing gets past you—and every tool built for that job was built and priced for full-time lobbying shops, not for teams like yours.

  • Committee deadlines appear with no warning and no time to react
  • The tools that exist assume you already know how lobbying works
  • Hours go to paperwork instead of the relationships that win

How it works

Four steps, one platform. Start wherever you are—the guidance carries you the rest of the way.

Plan

Other tools hand you a bill and wish you luck. We tell you what to do about it: who decides, when your voice counts, and the move most likely to land.

  • Guidance on every bill: who to engage, when, and how
  • Recommended next actions, not just notifications
  • Department-level engagement strategy Coming soon

Know what to do. Catch what matters. Understand the impact. Act on time.

Everything you need, nothing you don't.

The same four steps, up close.

Plan your approach

Strategy

Bill-level guidance

Every bill comes with the context a lobbyist would give you: which committee controls its fate, when the window to weigh in opens, and what to say.

Recommended actions

We don't stop at telling you something happened. Each bill suggests the specific next move—testify, call, comment, or let it go.

Department engagement strategy

Coming soon

A standing playbook for the agencies that regulate you: who to build a relationship with, which meetings matter, and how to get on the record early.

Detect what matters

Coverage

AI-powered alignment

Matches bills to your priorities without keyword guessing—so you don't miss a bill because it said "transient accommodations" instead of "short-term rental."

Dynamic views

Track "all bills in Finance with deadlines this week" or "bills I'm testifying on." Lists update themselves as bills move.

Focused alerts

Notifications only for real changes on bills you care about. No noise, no tab patrol, no 6am inbox triage.

Decide with confidence

Clarity

Version tracking & redlines

Side-by-side comparison between any two versions, with a summary of what actually changed. Always know what's different.

Real-time monitoring

Bill status, committee referrals, and timeline updates in one feed—including state-level detail national aggregators miss.

Shared context

Notes, tags, and positions attached to each bill, so your team reaches the same conclusion without a meeting.

Deliver on time

Action

Automated testimony generation

Formatted testimony drafted in seconds, with hearing info, committee chairs, dates, and times already filled in.

Hearing calendar

Your week at a glance, one click from the bill. Deadlines stop being a surprise.

Reusable testimony library

Past positions and boilerplate carry forward, so every draft sounds like your organization and nothing starts from a blank page.

Work as a team

Across all four steps

Role-based access & permissions

Read-only, write, and admin roles let you bring in board members, counsel, or contract lobbyists without handing over your whole strategy.

One source of truth

Everyone sees the same bills, the same positions, and the same deadlines—instead of three spreadsheets and a group text.

Institutional memory

Positions and testimony from past sessions stay with the organization, not with whoever happened to write them.

Reporting your board understands

Show what you tracked, what you filed, and what it moved—without building a deck from scratch every quarter.

Impact

One advocate went from 24 pieces of testimony a year to 165—on the same budget.

Seven times the coverage without seven times the headcount. That's what happens when the expertise lives in the tool instead of the job description.
