This is who we are.

Our people come from a wide range of political and professional backgrounds. As individuals, they bring special skills, broad knowledge, and significant relationships to their work. As a group, there is no greater force in Pennsylvania politics.

Stanley I. Rapp Founder

Stan is the firm’s Senior Partner.  He is one of the most recognizable figures in Pennsylvania politics -- an iconic figure in Harrisburg, and omnipresent in the Capitol halls.  Stan is a pragmatist who understands the art of the achievable.  He is driven by our clients’ needs, and passionate about the outcomes.

Stan graduated from Penn State University in 1975. He has been active in local, state, and federal elections his entire adult life.

Early in his career, Stan served as Chief of Staff to the PA Senate President Pro Tempore as well as the Chief Clerk of the PA Senate.

In 1985, Stan founded Greenlee Associates with William Greenlee. When Mr. Greenlee retired in 2000, Stan kept the vision and company alive by establishing Greenlee Partners.

Brutal honesty is the key to all that we do.

Lobbying is a full-contact sport.  If you aren’t in constant contact, you will lose.
