LEARN MORE ABOUT US

Thomas P. Pappas & Associates opened its doors in 1995. After starting his career working in the Ohio General Assembly and then within the framework of large law firms, Thomas P. Pappas sought an environment in which he could offer more personalized service and founded his own business. Since then, Pappas & Associates has grown considerably, providing public policy consulting and client services to a wide range of industries, associations, and corporations.

Thomas P. Pappas & Associates proudly operates as a sister firm to Kelley Cawthorne, a premier lobbying and public affairs firm based in Lansing, Michigan. In 2023, our two firms merged under common ownership to create one of the Midwest’s most dynamic and effective multistate advocacy teams. Though we continue to serve clients under our established name in Columbus, this partnership brings enhanced capacity, additional resources, and a wider network to support our clients’ needs in Ohio, Michigan, and beyond. United by a shared commitment to results and service, Pappas & Associates and Kelley Cawthorne are uniquely positioned to help clients succeed across multiple jurisdictions.
