Few people understand news, message discipline, and the value of relationships as well as Adam Morey

one peer nominator

Adam Morey is an award-winning public affairs leader with more than a decade of experience in corporate communications and issue advocacy, and today he puts that experience to work as Managing Director at J Strategies. He crafts sustained, convincing messages and builds lasting relationships with editorial boards, press contacts, stakeholders, and public officials, implementing multichannel public affairs strategies that navigate political headwinds and shift the narrative on controversial topics — work he leads not only in New York but across Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts. "Few people understand news, message discipline, and the value of relationships as well as Adam Morey," one peer nominator wrote. "The other side of an issue immediately feels a shift in narrative when Adam is brought into the mix."

Before joining J Strategies, Morey was Public Affairs Manager at the Lawsuit Reform Alliance of New York, where he led the organization's government affairs and communications strategy. His experience spans energy, insurance, and technology policy, litigation communications, and the legislative and rulemaking process, making him a go-to source for the media on a range of issues. That reputation has earned him spots on City & State New York's 40 Under 40 and Political PR Power Lists, as well as Politics NY's Power Players in Public Relations and Lobbying.

Throughout his time at J Strategies, Morey has been involved in many of Albany and Washington's leading policy debates. In 2026, his decade-long work advising the Lawsuit Reform Alliance culminated in the Keep New York Affordable campaign, which helped support Governor Hochul's insurance affordability and litigation reform proposals — arranging press events, placing ads, and driving message strategy that overcame the trial lawyer lobby's outsized spending and influence. As one nominator put it, Morey "made liability reform a kitchen table issue," laying the groundwork that let the effort succeed. "Adam consistently proves that he is the best at what he does."
