Armendariz Partners is a public affairs consulting firm headed by Carpinteria Councilman Joe Armendariz. The firm is the culmination of over fifteen years of key relationships developed in business, politics, education and government. We understand today's information-driven world, and the subtle nuances that can shape local public policy. We help our clients recognize and assess state and local trends in business, politics and government and devise strategic public affairs plans to help them deal effectively in their policy arena. Those plans might involve a number of elements including public arena message crafting, communicating with the media, government relations and grassroots, rapid-response issue advocacy.

Joe Armendariz maintains strong personal and working relationships with individuals and institutions that play a central role in the shaping of state and local public policy. He is uniquely positioned to convey our clients' messages to the right people at the appropriate time. Our ability to deliver to our clients a superior level of tactical public affairs support, by utilizing our vast network of local, state and regional policy experts, sets us apart from other firms our size. Rather than attempting to be all things to all people, we recognize that our core competencies are finite but our ability to leverage the practice areas of our array of strategic partners is almost unlimited.
