In navigating the convoluted government affairs landscape, it pays to belong to the exclusive clientele of Ron Klink & Associates. Given their reputable 50 years of combined political prowess, their extensive professional network includes senators and representatives to governors, government agency executives, CEOs, journalists and prime ministers. The competitive edge of having a former congressman – in the person of Ron Klink – at the helm has indeed served the company and its clients well.

Its specialties, as enumerated in a press release by affiliate institution The Livingston Group LLC, are regulatory reform, legislative initiatives and federal procurement. Indeed, as its opening lines proclaim, Ron Klink & Associates is in the business of keeping their doors open to all government policy makers.
Client Base
Today its client base is comprised of well-known companies across such diverse industries as technology, healthcare and telecommunications and includes non-profit organizations with distinct initiatives as well. These names include the Community Broadcasters Association, Best Home Systems Inc., North American Securities Administrators Association (NAASA), and Sentry Data Systems (F/K/A Freedom Health Care). In 2007, the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) was added to the roster.
As the lobbyist who personally handles the lattermost account, Ron Klink sees to it that the major concerns of the EDF (transportation, energy/nuclear, clean air & water; land use and conservation; and marine/maritime/boating/fisheries and natural resources) are lobbied for.
Presently, Ron Klink & Associates has two offices, one in Murrysville, Pennsylvania and the other in Washington, DC. It was founded in 2001 by Ron Klink, a former four-term (consecutive) congressman of the 4th District of Pennsylvania. Before he became a politician, however, Ron Klink was a well-known television and radio reporter who anchored the news on KDKA-TV from 1978 to 1992.
One of the key mantras that the firm has committed itself to lies in the belief that “the key to success is access.” And this is what the company not only promises, but delivers to each of its clients.
