Meet the Expert: Matt Kraig

Matt Kraig is one of the newest all-stars to have found a home at State and Federal Communications, having worked here for just over a year. Before landing this role, Matt completed two internships—first as an in-house attorney with a car dealership, and then as a federal criminal defense intern. Luckily for both Matt and State and Federal Communications, he landed here, where he describes his job as “a perfect fit!”
As a Research Services Manager, perfect is indeed the right word to describe Matt’s passion for research. The attention to detail required for each of his listings satisfies his drive for perfectionism. Matt thrives on finding that one change (or sometimes many changes) in a code revision and ensuring the most accurate and up-to-date information is available to our clients.
Matt hails from Brecksville, Ohio. He stayed in-state for his education, earning his undergraduate degree in political science from The Ohio State University and his law degree from Cleveland State University. After learning more about the legal world, Matt realized he was interested in something a little different. He wanted to combine his interests in business, politics, and the law—making the opportunity at State and Federal Communications a perfect match.
Matt has become a key member of the team, fulfilling a pivotal research role. He keeps our guidebooks updated in the Northeast states (NY, NJ, PA, DE) and answers client questions related to lobbying and campaign contribution rules in a timely and informative manner. In addition to honing his research skills, Matt says he enjoys having “more opportunities for training, professional development, and community events” at State and Federal Communications.
Outside of the office, Matt loves spending time with his dogs, Tucker and Cannoli. He’s always up for a good hike and, when he can, enjoys visiting national parks. At home, you can often find him tinkering with tech—whether it’s his home theater system, the computer he’s building, or, of course, enjoying the results of his efforts with a good movie.
We’re excited that Matt found his perfect fit as part of the State and Federal Communications team—a group full of experts you can trust. Learn more about what we can do for you at https://stateandfed.com/services/.
