2021State Affairs operates a network of statehouse newsrooms and an AI policy-intelligence platform serving government-affairs teams.
The State Affairs platform is an AI-native policy-intelligence system with Monitor, Analyze, Coordinate, Influence and Report modules, ingesting thousands of hours of legislative hearings, bills and regulations monthly.
It builds a real-time knowledge graph around every bill, hearing, vote, amendment and regulation across all fifty states and Congress, with cross-state bill comparison, hearing-video moment extraction and bill momentum scoring.
State legislatures introduced more than 135,500 bills in 2025, up roughly 55% from 87,500 in 2024, expanding the volume of policy activity organizations must monitor.
With only about 850 full-time statehouse reporters in the U.S., State Affairs positions its combined newsroom-and-platform model to serve corporate government-affairs teams treating policy monitoring as essential as market data.
State Affairs' core advantage is a proprietary, human-driven data moat: more than 2,000 originally reported nonpartisan articles each month from journalists embedded in state capitols feed its AI knowledge graph.
The platform is used by one-third of U.S. state and federal elected officials and by enterprises including Walmart, Mastercard and McDonald's, with 76 editorial employees embedded across state capitols giving real-time visibility into bills, hearings, amendments and policy trends.
State Affairs sells self-serve newsroom subscriptions from $50 per month per state, with multi-state bundles spanning $50 to $146 per month and 14-day trials.
Its Pro legislative-intelligence platform starts around $188 per month per state with a free guest tier, while enterprise plans covering all fifty states and Congress and its advocacy products are sold through demo-request and dedicated sales motions.
