Forbes Tate Partners, a bipartisan public affairs and government relations firm, has expanded into the Dallas\u2013Fort Worth area, marking a strategic milestone for FTP and signaling the increased influence of Texas as an economic, political, and cultural hub.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cOur expansion into the Dallas-Fort Worth market is a natural next step as we continue to meet the needs of our clients and focus on issues that matter to them,\u201d Managing Partner Rob Mathias said in an announcement. \u201cTexas is an economic powerhouse, a policy incubator, and a culture driver. Our presence here puts us at the center of conversations that will shape the future of business and government.\u201d<\/p>\n

The firm said the DFW market offers significant opportunity for public affairs and advocacy firms and that its new office will offer its integrated suite of policy, insights, communications, and field capabilities, bringing its proven model from the nation\u2019s capital to the heart of Texas and beyond.<\/p>\n

CRH, a Forbes Tate client with broad operations across Texas, welcomed the move.<\/p>\n

\u201cCRH maintains expansive operations throughout Texas thanks to its growing economy and its business-friendly environment,\u201d said Ryan Lindsey, EVP of government relations at CRH. \u201cWe\u2019ve worked closely with Forbes Tate Partners to navigate the complex landscape of D.C.\u2014and we\u2019re excited to see them join the DFW community to help business leaders in Texas.\u201d<\/p>\n

The expansion also drew praise from Jim Wilkinson, executive chairman of TrailRunner International, who said the move will help strengthen bonds between North Texas and Washington.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s exciting to see Forbes Tate Partners recognize the economic might, cultural clout, and policy potential that Texas offers,\u201d Wilkinson said. \u201cWe look forward to having FTP join us here in Dallas as part of the broader Public Policy Holding Company network to help Texas business leaders navigate the complex landscape of D.C. and build stronger bonds between the Beltway and the DFW community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Launching the Lonestar Social Index<\/p>\n

As part of the expansion, FTP announced the launch of the Lonestar Social Index, a proprietary platform designed to analyze how policy, business, and social conversations in Texas drive national dialogue\u2014and how federal developments impact the state\u2019s business environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Lonestar Social Index\u2014along with our strong array of analytic tools\u2014will quantify policymaking outcomes, contextualize conversations, and connect dots for public-sector and private-sector executives,\u201d said Doug Usher, a partner at FTP and leader of its insights practice. \u201cOur one-of-a-kind insights platform offers decision-makers a resource to improve business outcomes amid a complex, highly charged, and unpredictable economic and political landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n

The firm said its Dallas office already has client engagements underway in the health, energy, AI, and financial services sectors, with an expanded rollout of services in other states expected by early next year.<\/p>\n
