Government Affairs Services
carreñogroup, through it's public affairs unit – Lone Star Public Affairs, can help you educate and persuade, especially if you are seeking to influence decision-makers at the local, state, and federal levels. Sometimes educating officials or politicians with hard facts is all that it takes. At other times, private persuasion is what is called for. We work through established relationships, either directly or indirectly, to achieve a positive outcome for our clients.
We assist clients ranging from pharmaceuticals, food service, and oil and gas companies to established non-profits and up-and-coming coalitions.
