About Us

The Dupont Group is a Concord, New Hampshire-based business consulting firm focused on government affairs, public relations.  The firm specializes in advocacy and communications associated with complicated public policy issues and regulated industries. The firm's services include lobbying and government affairs representation with an emphasis on New Hampshire state government, including the legislature, executive branch and regulatory agencies. 

The Dupont Group's clients include many sectors of industry and commerce including major employers, manufacturing firms, technology and telecommunications companies, as well as energy generation and supplier companies. In addition, the firm represents the interest of a number of the state's leading trade associations.

The firm specializes in representing business issues and has earned a reputation as a well informed and highly capable advocate. By maintaining a strong emphasis on issues of business and commerce, The Dupont Group brings forward a meaningful voice for the business community in the formation of public policy as well as the credibility to solve problems facing our individual business clients.  In recent years, The Dupont Group has been successful in a number of high-profile legislative efforts including playing key roles in the fight to deregulate New Hampshire's electricity market, in the major restructuring of the state's business taxes. We also played a significant role in making  numerous changes to the state's pari-mutuel gaming laws, including the gaming tax laws and were the principal force in the writing and adoption of the State Pari-mutuel Commission's account and telephone wagering rules. As the representative firm for the Retail Merchants Association of New Hampshire, we also took the lead in the successful fight against a serious effort to impose a sales tax in New Hampshire. That effort included grassroots strategy and issue-oriented paid media, and resulted in a lopsided defeat for the proposal.

When a piece of legislation affects your company or organization, legislators and other policymakers and advocacy groups need to hear your side of the story. We help businesses follow and become part of the legislative process. For each client, the target audience for each legislative message is unique. These messages need to be crafted for maximum impact and efficiency. It may be important for your message to reach the Governor, State Senators, Representatives, the public, or all of the above. The Dupont Group will help develop your message for maximum persuasiveness and appropriate tone in today's political climate, and make sure that message gets to the right people through one-on-one or group meetings, print material, or public proceedings
