Lucas Public Affairs Celebrates 20 Years of Helping Clients Win
SACRAMENTO, CA — Lucas Public Affairs (LPA), a leading California public affairs firm, this week celebrates its 20th anniversary, marking two decades of guiding high-stakes campaigns, advancing public policy initiatives and delivering strategic counsel – and wins – to clients throughout the state.
Founded in 2006 by Chief Executive Officer Donna Lucas, the Sacramento-based, women-led firm has grown into one of California’s most respected public affairs practices, advising a wide array of corporate, nonprofit, and public entity clients, including climate, energy, insurance, education, tourism, transportation, state and local government and nonprofit organizations.
Led by Lucas and President Cassandra Pye, veterans of gubernatorial administrations and long-time leaders in Capitol politics and policy, LPA has built a talented team respected for top-tier strategy, bipartisan credibility and deep relationships across California’s political and legislative landscape.
“The fact that we’re celebrating 20 years is more than a reflection of our work, it’s emblematic of our relationships with clients, colleagues and partners who have supported us along the way,” said Lucas. “We’ve had the opportunity to work on consequential issues that have made our state stronger and bolstered its success, and I’m deeply grateful to all those who have worked with us and trusted us to help them succeed.”
