> Alyssa Lovelace is the definition of a powerhouse lobbyist
> 
> one nominator

Alyssa M. Lovelace has spent nearly two decades in New York government relations — a career that started, almost by accident, at 19, when she signed on as a legislative intern for a nursing home association and was lobbying by 21. Now a Partner at Hill, Gosdeck, McGraw & Nemeth, she has built a practice spanning telecom, natural gas, homecare, and crypto, developing annual legislative and regulatory strategies and running grassroots advocacy and education campaigns for clients across the state. As one nominator put it, she brings "leadership, strategic vision, unwavering dedication, and an extraordinary ability to build meaningful relationships that drive impactful results."

That range showed up across this year's session. Lovelace has been heavily involved in the data center fight on behalf of the Bitcoin mining and AI community, holding in-person briefings to educate lawmakers on energy and Bitcoin mining and introducing legislation on behalf of organizations new to New York. Her wins this session included beating back a gold bullion tax, in the budget and as standalone legislation, and defeating biosolids legislation on both fronts as well. Nominators who've worked alongside her for years describe a lobbyist who navigates complex policy with the same relationship-first instincts whether the issue is energy, finance, or health care.

Lovelace still counts long-term care and home care among her closest professional ties, the industry where she got her start, and she remains a trusted mentor to those coming up behind her in the field. "Alyssa Lovelace is the definition of a powerhouse lobbyist," one nominator wrote, crediting her influence and dedication with making "a significant difference throughout New York State." She lives in Saratoga County with her husband and six pets — her kids, she'll happily tell you, are grown and out of the house — and beyond the Capitol, she is a member of the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation's Upstate NY Chapter.
