Wyoming council extends lobbyist contract with Momentum Advocacy to pursue bonding support
Summary
The Wyoming City Council approved a contract extension with Momentum Advocacy LLP through mid‑2025 for $20,800 to continue lobbying for capital investment and bonding support for the city’s public-safety project. Brian McDaniel, representing Momentum, said the firm will continue outreach to the Capital Investment Committee.
The Wyoming City Council on Dec. 17 voted unanimously to extend a lobbying contract with Momentum Advocacy LLP to continue work on the city’s capital-investment and bonding priorities.
Staff said the extension (Resolution 20412137) continues services similar to those provided by Hilden Law and Advocacy and keeps the same fee structure. According to staff, the agreement would run into mid-2025 for $20,800 and “they have not raised any of their prices through this agreement.”
Brian McDaniel, who introduced himself as a representative of Momentum Advocacy, described the firm’s transition and said the group will work both sides of the aisle at the Legislature. McDaniel told council members he is “very excited and looking forward to this session,” and said the firm has arranged tours with members of the House and Senate capital investment committees that staff described as important for the public-safety building effort.
Council members asked about past outcomes and why staff remained optimistic despite earlier projects that had not yet received funding. McDaniel responded that there are never guarantees but that the firm believes the project is competitive and that the current divided Legislature could improve the city’s chances of remaining in—and ultimately receiving funding from—a bonding bill.
Council approved the resolution on a voice vote with a motion to approve and a second; the clerk recorded all ayes and no opposition.
What happens next: the contract extension obligates the city to the lobbying engagement through the period described in the resolution and funds will be paid consistent with the contract terms.
