In 2009, veteran Texas Capitol staffers Jerry Philips and Kurt Meachum teamed up to launch Philips & Meachum Public Affairs, a full-service public affairs and governmental relations firm based in Austin, Texas. In 2023, Jaclyn Uresti, Mexican American Legislative Caucus President and national political advisor, joined the firm. Thanks to consistent and steady growth, Philips Uresti Meachum Partners is proud to represent a broad range of clients, including public and private corporations, governmental and quasi-governmental entities, professional and trade associations, non-profits, and advocacy organizations.
Philips Uresti Meachum Partners utilizes more than 70 years of combined legislative, political, campaign and business experience to help our clients assess risk, identify opportunity, develop strategy and effectively manage the political and public policy landscape.
Our institutional knowledge of the Texas political process, and meaningful relationships with elected leaders, staff, candidates and community influencers, perfectly positions our firm to effectively advocate and achieve results for the clients that trust our ability and judgement.
