An experienced lobbyist, Lynn Nowak represents the interests of a wide variety of clients before the legislature and executive branch. She targets client needs, analyzes political trends and then devises and executes a legislative strategy that gets the job done.
She has been consistently recognized throughout the entire run of Senator Loretta Weinberg’s “Power List,” naming her one of the post powerful and influential women in New Jersey. She was also included on Assemblywoman Shavonda Sumter’s inaugural NJ Women’s Power List, celebrating trailblazing women breaking barriers in New Jersey.
Of note, on an issue of considerable controversy, Lynn worked on the legalization of adult-use cannabis for many years as an advisor to NJ United for Marijuana Reform (NJUMR). She was a member of the Steering Committee for NJ CAN 2020, which executed the campaign to secure approval of Ballot Question 1 to approve public legalization. She was featured in a NJ.com profile that year, “Cannabis Influencers: The Veteran Lobbyist with a Spark.” NJ.com also named her to its 2021 Cannabis Power List, calling her one of the most “skillful lobbyists in New Jersey.”
Lynn served as president of the landmark lobbying firm, Nancy H. Becker Associates (NBA) for several years before she merged that practice into PGA in 2008. Prior to becoming the president of NBA, she served as the firm’s executive vice president and vice president of public relations.
Lynn also worked in the public sector, serving as the legislative liaison for the New Jersey Department of Commerce and Economic Development. She was responsible for the department’s legislative and regulatory activities, and also acted as an adviser to the commissioner on political and public affairs matters.
For several years, Lynn served on the board of directors of the Sports Hall of Fame of New Jersey, eventually working to transform it into the now legendary Hall of Fame of New Jersey.
