Who we are
Since 1980, Thompson & Associates, LLC has provided clients with a high level of expertise and support before the Mississippi Legislature; the Mississippi Executive Branch, including the Governor’s office; and state regulatory agencies. We are proud to be Mississippi’s oldest and most respected lobbying firm. Our team brings more than 75 years of combined experience, relationships and client success stories to the table.
The firm represents clients from small businesses and professional associations to Fortune 50 companies.
What We Do
We provide services in such fields as agriculture, appropriations, economic development, education, energy, environmental regulation, finance, gaming, healthcare, insurance, Medicaid, oil and gas, public health, public safety, taxation, telecommunications, tourism, transportation and utilities.
Why Us?
Only 8% of general bills proposed before the Mississippi Legislature become law. Stated differently, 92% fail every year. This daunting statistic reinforces the need for an experienced advocate. Passing a bill requires a seasoned pathfinder. Defeating or amending a bill requires a veteran group of lobbyists who know all of the procedures and players. Most of all, you need their judgment and knowledge of the process in order to win the day.
