The WPSS team works in local government, the executive branch, and in the legislative branch, specifically having worked as staff at every level relevant to a bill’s path from introduction to arrival on the Governor’s desk, allowing us to provide top level knowledge and expertise to our clients in navigating government. Our combined years of experience, working directly for the Legislature as well as advocating to members of the Legislature and the Governor’s Administration, as well as work for and with decision makers in state and local governments, position us to successfully guide the outcomes our clients require and expect.

The WPSS team is highly regarded in political and professional circles, with an established reputation of working hard for our clients’ interests with grace, ethics, respect, tenacity, and effectiveness. Because of our broad but selective client base and the relationships we have established with leaders and decision makers both inside and outside of government, we have an unmatched ability to build coalitions on behalf of our clients’ causes, bring together parties with disparate interests, and deploy strategies to effectively navigate government.

WPSS principals serve as trusted advisors, fostering ongoing strategic partnerships and providing counsel built on decades of results. WPSS was founded by Nick Warner in 1997 on a passion for, and high level of expertise in, local government and public safety related matters. Today, long-time partners Cory Salzillo and Danielle Sanchez continue our foundation in public safety and local government, with a client base across diverse sectors, including technology and communications, behavioral science, the automotive industry, financial services, health, and construction, design, and facility management.
