# S-3 Group The **#17 lobbying firm in DC by 2025 revenue ($24.35M)** — and the top-20's biggest percentage gainer outside the Trump-world boutiques, up **~61%** from ~$15M in 2024. The jump was driven not by proximity to the [[Second Trump Administration]] but by the **October 2024 merger with tax-focused West Front Strategies**, timed almost perfectly for the 2025 tax-reconciliation fight. Founded 2011 by John Scofield and Jeff Shockey, both former senior House Appropriations Committee staff (Shockey later left for industry, becoming SVP of global government relations at Raytheon/RTX). Republican-rooted but now bipartisan, with a Democratic bench including alumni of [[Nancy Pelosi]] and [[Bernie Sanders]] offices (Michaeleen Crowell, former Sanders chief of staff) alongside former top aides to Steve Scalise (Matt Bravo, Martin Reiser). ## Clients A heavyweight corporate book: [[Meta]], [[Google]], [[Boeing]], Raytheon/RTX, Micron, [[Koch Industries]], Duke Energy, JPMorgan Chase, DoorDash, Humana, the NFL, T-Mobile, plus [[Microsoft]], [[Comcast]] and Walgreens via West Front. ## Revolving door Appropriations-staff DNA (like [[Cornerstone Government Affairs]] and [[Cassidy & Associates]], it monetizes the committee layer), plus Ashley Davis (special assistant to DHS Secretary Tom Ridge) and Kristi Remington (deputy assistant attorney general, DOJ Office of Legal Policy). No FARA registration found. The Intercept's 2022 "K Street Kegger" feature on its lavish Navy Yard client parties remains the firm's best-known press. ## See also [[Lobbying Hub]] · [[Lobbying]] · [[Revolving Door]] · [[Cornerstone Government Affairs]] · [[2025 Record Lobbying Year]]
