DAVID MARGOLIS

David Margolis serves as Business Development and Communications Director at HillStaffer. With a career built at the intersection of government affairs strategy and advocacy technology, David helps organizations close the gap between ambitious policy goals and real-world results by connecting them with senior-level expertise that drives immediate impact.

David’s approach is shaped by more than twenty years working in government and public affairs services and technologies, spanning companies such as Cision (formerly Vocus), 720 Strategies, VoterVoice, and FiscalNote. This deep experience developed his operator’s understanding of what actually moves the needle – from stakeholder engagement and grassroots mobilization to the digital tools that power modern legislative campaigns. That perspective allows him to translate complex government affairs challenges into clear strategies, then match teams with the right partners to execute quickly and win.

A relationship-driven strategist and mentor, David is known for his creative approach to building meaningful professional connections and his willingness to share knowledge generously. He produces The GR Daily and Digital Advocacy, daily audio briefings that surface the latest tactics, trends, and insights for government relations and mobilization professionals working to drive policy change.
