The Company
Jim Arnold & Associates was formed in 1999 by Jim Arnold and Hans Klingler, who have worked in politics and government for a combined 34 years. The firm is located in Austin, TX, but the principals have worked in 18 states and Washington D.C. over the last decade.

The experience gained working in the legislative and executive branches of government both in Austin and in Washington, D.C., as well as the principals’ political experience combine to give the clients of Jim Arnold & Associates access to key decision makers at all levels of government.

Because of the firm’s contacts we are able to advocate on behalf of our clients before state and local governments and the federal government. However, when advantageous to its clients, the firm has affiliated with major governmental affairs firms in Washington, D.C. and in other states.

Our goal is to provide a spectrum of services ranging from specific, targeted projects to comprehensive client advocacy that incorporates a multitude of services over an extended period of time.

In addition, the firm’s political clients enjoy the experience of a combined 34 years in politics, with experience at every electoral level. The firm works to elect candidates to political office by providing quality strategic consulting, offering a comprehensive package of political fundraising, lobby event planning, media services, and direct mail services.

In 2003 Jim Arnold & Associates expanded to the Southeast, creating Capitol Strategy Group, a public affairs and political consulting firm based in Atlanta, GA.
