Influence Magazine's Fall 2021 edition recognizes CCC Team members, continuing streak
Insurance Lobbyist of the Year: Ashley Kalifeh"Nearly every year, lawmakers toy with getting rid of the state's no fault auto insurance system...In the 2021 Legislative Session, it was nearly a done deal. But behind the scenes, there was an all-out war with Capital City Consulting's Ashley Kalifeh leading the opposition on behalf of insurers..." 
Runner-Up Healthcare Lobbyist of the Year: Jared Rosenstein"He might have been the hardest working right hand man in government since Alexander Hamilton. Jared Rosenstein, known for his hunger for success and willingness to work nonstop, joined Capital City Consulting this summer after being immersed in the state's emergency management headquarters during the COVID-19 public health pandemic." CCC has long been recognized at top of its class by Influence MagazineFirst ever Lobbying Firm of the Year "Capital City Consulting's winning strategy might be described as killing them with kindness. In the world of Florida's lobbying, they're a Big 4 Firm in terms of revenue, and they're also respected and liked by the teams they primarily compete with..." 
2019 Lobbyist of the Year “From increasing school safety to working to reduce prescription drug costs, Ron LaFace had a hand in some of the biggest issues of the 2019 Legislative Session. An owner of Capital City Consulting, LaFace is considered an expert in everything from insurance and education to transportation and taxes. And he’s the go-to guy when clients need something done. ‘It means a lot that Ron is receiving some well-deserved recognition for all his years of hard work,’ said Nick Iarossi, the other owner of Capital City Consulting.”
2019 Gaming Lobbyist of the Year “Rarely does no actual equal a big win—unless, of course, you represent gaming interests in the Sunshine State. With a client roster that includes pari-mutuels, a thoroughbred horse seller and a designated player game operator, Nick Iarossi worked tirelessly during the 2019 Legislative Session to ensure his clients’ interests were well-represented during discussions about the future of gambling in Florida.” 
2019 Runner-Up Appropriations Lobbyist of the Year “If you need help navigating the appropriations process, Chris Schoonover is your man. Schoonover, a partner at Capital City Consulting, is known throughout the capital city as a tireless advocate for his clients’ budget requests. Often described as clear, concise, and organized, Schoonover excels at making a compelling case on behalf of his clients’ needs.”
2017 Healthcare Lobbyist of the Year "Health care lobbyists and a sought Legislative Session in 2017, but capital City Consulting's LaFace pushed the envelope for clients, even working on a hair transplant bill...He also worked on a 'medication synchronization' bill for clients Aetna, Cigna, and the Florida Association of Health Plans..." 
2017 Insurance Lobbyist of the Year "It was no easy session for insurance lobbyist-especially pregnant ones, which makes Kalifeh's win of Insurance Lobbyist of the Year all the more sweet. Kalifeh gets credit for the hard work put in toward a host of unresolved issues, including assignment of benefits and workers' comp. Her background helps: she's a former legislative affairs director and deputy chief financial officer for Florida's Department of Financial Services."
2017 Education Lobbyist of the Year "Husband Chris didn't have the typical pedigree of an education lobbyist when joining Capital City Consulting...Since then, he's quickly joined the ranks as one of Florida's premier education lobbyists, securing $5.4 million this year in recurring funds for New College of Florida to grow its enrollment to 1,200 students, among other triumphs."
