Editor’s Note: City & State has a lot to celebrate with GovExec’s third anniversary

City & State’s parent company, GovExec, celebrated its third anniversary on March 16, gathering staff across the country from its various brands for in-person and virtual celebrations. The milestone marked the day GovExec was spun off from Atlantic Media on a mission to become the leading sales and marketing intelligence company for government leaders and contractors. 

GovExec bought City & State in January of 2021, raising the national profile of our respected news organization, already the must-read brand for political power players in New York City, Albany and across the state. City & State then relaunched its operation in Pennsylvania and expanded into Florida. GovExec’s support set in motion City & State Publisher and President Tom Allon’s vision of creating a national brand that will continue on this expansion into other states.  

Joining in the anniversary celebration as a member of GovExec’s family of respected news organizations, including Government Executive, Defense One, NextGov, Route Fifty and The Atlas among others, is not only a moment of pride for City & State, but a moment of recommitment to our readers. No brand in New York state does a better job of getting news about policy and political personalities in front of lawmakers. Just check out our latest stories, including Rebecca C.
