The largest lobby shop in the Southeast is already in Florida, Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina. Now it’s ready to be a Tar Heel.
The Southern Group, the largest lobbying team in the Southeast, is expanding its operations to include North Carolina.
The lobby shop has tapped North Carolina lobbying veteran Kevin Wilkinson to lead its expansion in the Tar Heel State.
Wilkinson often lands on lists naming the most powerful lobbyists in North Carolina, and has extensive experience working in and around Raleigh politics. Southern Group leadership described Wilkinson as someone who has chops not just on politics or policy, but both. He has worked in government roles as well as his work as a lobbyist for various top-performing private-sector clients.
