Designing outcomes, delivering results
Our team leverages decades of institutional knowledge to ensure your voice is heard by the state’s key decision-makers, turning political volatility into predictable opportunity. Whether you are facing a high-stakes legislative session or seeking to shape agency policy, we provide the relentless advocacy required to win in Texas.
Strategic Alliances & Partnerships
A key strength of Colyandro Public Affairs is the development, launch, and management of legitimate organizations to spearhead policy discussions. It is a common practice in lobby world to create “paper only” groups which create the false impression of support for a cause. This is a disingenuous practice.
Policy debates should be driven by genuine support for a cause or issue.
Public Affairs & Messaging
Communications is a key part of the firm’s mission for client success. From helping to draft and edit press releases and op-eds to shaping communications strategy, Colyandro Public Affairs assists clients in developing and implementing communications plans.
Over the course of his career, John has ghost written scores of op-eds and been published himself. He has prepared politicians and clients for public testimony, and has personally testified before legislative committees. In addition, he has prepared and delivered presentations in front of small and very large audiences.
Lastly, John has dealt directly with the media as a background resource on behalf of clients.
Regulatory Consulting
As part of the firm’s consulting services, the CPA team specializes in public relations and grasstops and grassroots engagement in support of federal and state advocacy efforts. Leveraging existing networks and creating new ones is key to successful engagement to generate third party support for client interests. To that end, Colyandro Public Affairs has worked with two national firms to lead and achieve advocacy goals in Texas.
Government Relations
Colyandro Public Affairs is dedicated to lobbying and consulting, and formulating policy to advance the interests of the firm’s clients. Led by policy experts, Colyandro Public Affairs achieves success through hard work, sound organization development, knowledge of state government, and creative solutions to client needs.
Legislative Strategy & Frameworking
Good public policy rests on sound principles and serves a public interest. That approach has made the firm immediately successful at passing legislation in Texas, including five bills in the company’s first legislative session in operation.
Because each member of the CPA team has worked in many areas of public policy — notably health care, education, and energy — CPA can help formulate policies that advance a client’s interests legislatively or administratively.
Public-Private Partnerships
Procurement is one of the most vital aspects of government and one of the most difficult to navigate. Colyandro Public Affairs has successfully represented clients whose business model is to sell goods and services to state government. In addition, given John’s background in policy and agency management, the firm launched a procurement reform coalition to bring even greater transparency and efficiency to the procurement process.
