Dwyer Consulting
Advocacy + Social Services + Civic Engagement

I'm JC, and this is my work.
I have experience in every stage of the policy-making cycle — from the ballot box to community implementation. This allows me to support your organization wherever you are in your advocacy journey.​
​
Twenty-two years of policy work has given me a breadth of experience in every form of advocacy; deep knowledge and connections in social welfare and food access policy; and a nuanced understanding of the incentives shaping decisions at Austin City Hall, the Texas Capitol, and in Congress.
​
My clients benefit from clear issue analysis, targeted strategies and supplemental capacity. I provide every client with a clear policy lens that they can apply to their external communications, engagement with decision-makers and stakeholder activation.
​
​My experience in Texas politics and policy-making has given me a front-row seat to the challenges facing our democracy. It has also taught me that durable progress requires broad, inclusive engagement and centering those most impacted by our collective decisions.
