DeMenna Public Affairs

DeMenna Public Affairs works as a government relations, public affairs, and political consulting firm based in Phoenix, representing clients before the Arizona Legislature, the Office of the Governor, and state agencies. The firm traces its roots to DeMenna & Associates, founded in 1998 by Kevin DeMenna, and describes itself as the next generation of that practice. Its people have been involved in every Arizona legislative session since 1980, giving the firm a long institutional view of how state policy gets made.

Services run from direct lobbying to the administrative work that keeps a client's presence at the Capitol compliant and coordinated. The firm serves as advocate on designated public policy issues and as liaison to legislators, municipal and county representatives, and other stakeholders, helping build coalitions around a client's position. It assists in drafting and developing proposed legislation, monitors and tracks bills of interest, and reports back on movement session to session. On the compliance side, the firm manages lobbyist registration requirements under Arizona law, and on the messaging side, it drafts letters, testimony, and talking points that state a client's position clearly to legislators and agencies.

Kevin DeMenna, a former chief of staff in the Arizona Senate, is one of the firm's central figures and is described as one of the state's most sought-after lobbyists. That background inside the Legislature informs how the firm approaches agenda development for clients, from identifying which issues warrant a defined state government strategy to shaping how a position gets communicated to the people who vote on it.
