About the firm
More than 20 years inside Arizona state government.
Ascension Public Affairs is a boutique government relations and regulatory consulting firm. We bring executive-level experience from inside Arizona's licensing agencies, rulemaking processes, and legislative affairs to every client engagement.
Why we exist
Ascension Public Affairs was founded on a simple premise: organizations navigating Arizona's regulatory environment deserve a partner who has actually worked inside it. With more than 20 years of leadership experience inside Arizona state government, we bring a level of institutional knowledge that is genuinely rare in the consulting space.
We have helped design, implement, and operationalize major statutory and voter-mandated programs in Arizona, advising policymakers, regulators, and industry leaders on high-visibility and politically sensitive initiatives. That experience informs everything we do for clients today.
How we work
What guides us
Insider knowledge
More than 20 years of leadership inside Arizona state government means we understand how licensing systems, rulemaking, and enforcement operations actually function, not just how they're described on paper.
Straight talk
We tell clients what we know, what we don't know, and what we think. not what they want to hear. That's how trust is built and how good decisions get made.
Deep relationships
Effective advocacy depends on relationships built over time. We invest in those relationships year-round, not just during session or when a crisis hits.
Actionable strategy
We don't just analyze the landscape, we help clients act on it. Every engagement is oriented toward clear, practical steps that move organizations forward.
Let's work together.
If you're navigating state policy and need experienced representation, we'd like to hear from you.
