We’re excited to announce a new addition to the home feed that allows you to stay up-to-date on lobbying activity.

OurGov can now show lobbying activity on bills you care about in the home feed and send you email alerts.

Example lobbying activity event showing new activity on AB73.

Prior to this development, you needed to navigate to a bill’s page to see what lobbying activity may have changed since you last reviewed it. Now, we can tell you both in email notifications and on the home feed when new lobbying activity has occurred.

Let’s say you’re a healthcare lobbyist in Wisconsin and are closely monitoring a bill related to expanding Medicaid coverage. With OurGov’s new feature, you can now receive email notifications and see updates in the home feed when there are newly registered positions related to this bill. This allows you to quickly assess the current state of the bill and any potential changes that may affect your clients.

By enabling a push workflow for lobbying updates, OurGov is streamlining the workflow for lobbyists, saving you time and effort in keeping up with legislative developments. We’re committed to constantly improving our platform to meet the needs of our customers and help them succeed in their work–thanks to our customers that communicated this need!


Note for current users, you will need to manually enable this setting on your feed (and notification preferences):

Make sure to turn the new event type on if you’d like to benefit from this feature!
