How We Work
We help organizations navigate state government, engage effectively with policymakers, and advance their priorities through the legislative and regulatory process. Our work is grounded in practical experience, long-standing relationships, and a clear understanding of how policy decisions are made in Arkansas.
Clients rely on WSG Consulting for clear counsel, thoughtful strategy, and steady representation at the State Capitol.
We approach government relations with a focus on preparation, credibility, and results. We take the time to understand our clients’ goals, assess the policy landscape, and develop strategies that reflect political realities—not just theoretical outcomes.
Our work emphasizes trust, discretion, and long-term relationships. We believe effective advocacy is built on credibility and follow-through, not noise.
Meet The Team
Kelley Linck
Partner
Kelley Linck brings deep experience in Arkansas government, public policy, and legislative leadership, spanning both the legislative and executive branches. He served as a member of the Arkansas House of Representatives, where he held senior leadership roles and was actively involved in shaping complex policy affecting healthcare, human services, and state government operations.
During his legislative service, Kelley chaired the Public Health, Welfare, and Labor Committee and the Legislative Council Rules and Regulations Committee—positions that placed him at the center of consequential policy and regulatory decisions and required close coordination with state agencies and legislative leadership.
Following his time in the legislature, Kelley served as Chief of Staff for the Arkansas Department of Human Services, one of the state’s largest and most complex agencies. In that role, he worked directly with agency leadership, the Governor’s office, and the General Assembly, overseeing policy implementation, regulatory strategy, and operational coordination across multiple divisions and programs.
Kelley has since worked in government affairs and strategic consulting, advising organizations on legislative strategy, regulatory engagement, and stakeholder communications. He brings clients a firsthand understanding of how policy is developed, negotiated, and implemented in Arkansas—and how to engage effectively at every stage of that process.
