Switchgrass Solutions
Switchgrass helps organizations turn what's happening in the legislature into action from their members. When a bill moves, your people know about it, and know what to do, before the vote, not after.
Start with a conversationTwo ways to put legislative intelligence to work.
Every engagement starts with judgment, not software. We'll tell you which path fits your organization, and if the answer is neither, we'll say so.
We run it for you
Start with an engagement audit. From there we build and run a legislative page on your own site, with action modules that tell members which bill matters right now and exactly what to do about it, then curate it through the session. LegiSync data underneath, a working lobbyist's judgment on top.

If your team already knows what to watch, LegiSync and VoteScope give you the raw material directly: real-time bill monitoring, AI-assisted analysis, and a searchable record of how every legislator actually voted.
Request a demoStart with an engagement audit.
A short, fixed-scope engagement. We look at how your website, your list, and the legislative calendar actually work together, then hand you an audit and a blueprint: what your web presence should do, what to cut, what to build, in what order, and what it costs. You own the blueprint whether or not we build any of it.
Start with a conversationThe platforms behind the work.
The same tools we run for clients, available directly to teams that want to run their own program.
LegiSync
Real-time bill monitoring and AI-assisted analysis, backed by a registered lobbyist who reads what the alerts flag. You get what's moving, what it means for your organization, and whether it deserves your members' attention, not a firehose of keyword matches.
VoteScope
Track how legislators vote across 22 policy areas, built for lobbyists, associations, and campaigns that need real voting data, not headlines. Custom dashboards and embeddable widgets available for organizations that want their own view of the data.
Advocacy work that moved the needle.
Real campaigns for real legislative fights. And when the fight is on, we ship in days, not months.
South Dakota Data Center Transparency
A year-round record of who decided what, not a campaign that ends with the session. Every legislator scored across 11 data center bills, every tracked facility on its own page, and county hearings surfaced while there's still time to show up.
View projectSouth Dakotans for Fair Taxes
A coalition referendum against SB 245's sales tax increase from 4.2% to 4.5%. The site makes a November 2026 ballot measure concrete: where to sign, how to carry a petition, and who the tax shift leaves paying more.
View projectSD Data Center Action
~2,000 constituent emails reached legislators across 22 districts. District-targeted pressure instead of form-letter noise. A district lookup tool put every supporter in front of their own legislators and the right committee.

Switchgrass Solutions is a consulting practice for associations, advocacy groups, and campaigns that need the legislature to move, and need their members to move first. It's run by a registered South Dakota lobbyist, so the strategy comes from inside the process, not from reading bill text at a distance.
