Our proprietary suite of tools gives Kress Hammen an unmatched technological edge in Maryland government affairs — purpose-built platforms that no other firm can offer.
KH Legislative Tracker
Real-Time Bill Intelligence
A comprehensive legislative monitoring and client management platform built for Kress Hammen to track Maryland General Assembly bills throughout each legislative session.

MD Legislator Profiles
Strategic Legislator Intelligence
A legislative intelligence platform built for Kress Hammen that transforms eight-plus years of Maryland General Assembly session data (2017–2026) into actionable research for lobbying strategy and client work. The platform ingests every legislator, committee assignment, and primary-sponsored bill across that span, enabling analysis across multiple dimensions: a proprietary effectiveness score based on bill passage rates and subject concentration; full bill tracking by outcome, DLS subject code, and session history; committee membership and leadership role filtering; and multi-session trend analysis showing legislators' policy interests and effectiveness.
Reporting tools include three analytical views — ranked by legislator, by subject area, and a legislator-by-subject cross-reference matrix — alongside AI-generated biographical profiles covering career history, electoral record, and key alliances.
