Adams St. Advocates shows dramatic growth according to second-quarter lobbying compensation report

in Uncategorized by

There are few families in Florida with as deep political roots as Dave Ericks and his daughter, Candice. In their most recent lobbying endeavor, the Ericks are joined by veteran lobbyists Robert Beck, Claudia Davant, Jim Henry, and others, to serve an equally eclectic range of client interests.

Their build-up has been impressive.  The firm, which was comprised of just Davant and her client Xerox during the second quarter of 2012, has grown dramatically to include 18 legislative and 20 executive clients this quarter, and compensation of up to $499,998 for both.

Today, the Adams St. Advocates serve clients including AT& T, Capital Asphalt, the Everglades Foundation, Florida Coalition for the Homeless, the City of Ft. Lauderdale, Aging True, and others.

Cisco represented their largest reported cut this quarter, compensating up to $49,999 for legislative representation; followed by Infor, which compensated as much as $39,999 for the same.
