About Us

Barnes & Associates is a government relations and public policy consulting firm. Established in 2003, Barnes & Associates specializes in providing economic analysis of policy options and through legislative advocacy, the implementation of those policies. Barnes & Associates offers our clients what few other firms can ---expert legislative analysis, legislative advocacy, and lobbying efforts that are custom-tailored to maximize the likelihood of legislative success. This is complemented by bipartisan contacts at the highest levels of legislative office.

The most effective lobbyists understand the impact of the legislation they are working on and can articulate that impact. To successfully represent an organization on complex and politically charged legislative issues, your lobbyist must not only have the legislative contacts, but also the background and knowledge to achieve the best possible public policy outcome. Barnes & Associates gives you that winning combination.

The firm was founded and is managed by Mark Barnes. Mr. Barnes has worked with the Arizona State Legislature since 1995. The firm provides legislative advocacy services to a diverse set of clients ranging from local branches of government to non-profit organizations and associations.
