TALLAHASSEE – Southern Strategy Group is one of Florida’s largest lobbying firms, with clients ranging from Daytona International Speedway and Apple to the city of Orlando.
Founded by former Jeb Bush adviser Paul Bradshaw, the firm showed the biggest financial gains in the recently disclosed second-quarter lobbyist-compensation reports.
Southern Strategy booked about $3.4 million in fees from more than 140 clients from April through June, boosting its year-to-date haul to roughly $6 million and leapfrogging other powerhouses like Ballard Partners, Ron Book and GrayRobinson.
