Both in my time working with the California Legislature and now in public affairs in the private sector, I have always relied on Kabateck Strategies for deep policy insights and delivering results for projects and clients when we've worked together directly and side by side. Congratulations to KabStrat on your first of many decades of excellence in advocating for worthy causes!

Kabateck Strategies is, without a doubt, one of the most comprehensive and effective strategic advocacy firms in the nation. They successfully led two very different campaigns for us, each tailored to unique challenges, yet both aligned with a single goal: to raise awareness and win. Their ability to adapt, strategize, and deliver results is unmatched. If you're looking for a powerhouse team to help bring your vision to life—KabStat is where it’s at!

Over the past 10 years, you've become more than just a vendor; you're a trusted partner. We value and appreciate your insights and acumen and ability to hone our legal advocacy on behalf of our common clients.

At Perry Communications Group, we’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with KabStrat and John Kabateck on many public affairs initiatives, and we can say without hesitation that they are exceptional partners. John’s deep knowledge of California policy, combined with his strategic instincts and genuine relationships across the political spectrum, make him an invaluable ally in any advocacy effort. Whether navigating complex legislative landscapes or crafting messages that resonate with key decision-makers, John brings clarity, confidence, and credibility to the table.

John, Nate, and the entire KabStrat team bring everything you want in a partner—high level strategic thinking, great relationships with the validators that move public opinion, and unmatched reliability—but what really sets them apart is the energy they bring to every project. They make the work more fun, the wins more meaningful, and the whole ride better. Every team’s better with them on it.

Working with Kabateck Strategies during my time as President & CEO of ABC Northern California was truly impactful. Their strategic insight, deep understanding of policy, and ability to communicate our message clearly and effectively made a real difference in our advocacy efforts. KabStrat is more than a consulting firm—they are trusted partners committed to advancing their clients' missions.

We faced legislation this year that would have devastated California small businesses and jobs, and not much time to act. Kabateck Strategies dove in head-first and mobilized a statewide blitz of small business owners, consumers and other real-world constituents to call, email, visit their officials and tell them how this would hurt their communities. That message got through, the bill was amended, and thanks to Kabateck Strategies, we averted a major disaster for California families and businesses.

Kabateck Strategies is the most effective organization to build and mobilize coalitions for winning outcomes, bar none. For more than a decade, John has led our efforts to get real people – restaurant owners, employees and other key stakeholders – in front of the right decision makers in the State Capitol, city halls and the media. Whether it’s a statewide ballot measure, legislation or a local ordinance, Kabateck Strategies builds the right teams and campaigns to get the job done.

Thanks to Kabateck Strategies, our organization has gained an audience with top-level California leaders responsible for shaping policy that directly impacts our industry.  John has helped us move from the sidelines to the playing field, getting us get directly involved with those shaping policy and the key agencies that regulate our industry.  His experienced guidance in helping us navigate Sacramento has been invaluable.
