Policy. Politics. Presence.
At Two Lights Strategies, we partner with clients to navigate Washington, advance their priorities, and build the visibility and relationships that matter.
We're an advisory firm at the intersection of government relations, political engagement, and leadership visibility. The firm is named for the twin lighthouses of Cape Elizabeth, Maine — beacons of direction and clarity. We bring that same focus to every client engagement.
Our experience across Capitol Hill, the private sector, and the political arena gives us a perspective that is both broad and grounded — in how Washington works, how decisions get made, and how to position clients for what's ahead.

About Krysta
Krysta Juris is a strategic advisor with nearly two decades of experience on Capitol Hill and in the private sector. She brings a deep understanding of how policy and leadership converge and how to navigate them with precision and purpose.
Most recently, Krysta served as Chief of Staff in the U.S. Senate, leading legislative, political, communications, and operational strategy during a period of rapid growth and heightened public attention. She managed high-performing teams, built bipartisan coalitions, and shaped policy development and strategic positioning on complex national issues.

Krysta began her time in Washington working for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, serving as a senior aide for nearly a decade. That foundation in congressional leadership grounded her in the inner workings of Capitol Hill and shaped her approach to policy, politics, and strategy in fast-paced, high-stakes environments.
Over the course of her career, she has built trusted relationships on both sides of the aisle and across sectors. She understands how Washington operates—how influence is built, how decisions are made, and how political and strategic forces shape outcomes at the highest levels.
She is a Partner at Lev Collective, a public affairs strategy and advisory firm that brings together expertise in communications, public policy, stakeholder management, and partnerships — helping organizations and the people who lead them build influence, shape reputation, and elevate their profile on global stages.
