History

Bonner & Associates was founded in Washington, D.C. by Jack Bonner as a public relations firm. Bonner was previously the Director for Community Relations for the City of Tucson, Arizona and also served as a top aid for U.S. Senator John Heinz (PA). Bonner & Associates was one of the early public affairs companies involved in many large scale campaigns for a wide range of clients at the local, state, and federal levels of government. The company has been listed as the “pioneer of grassroots efforts” by The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times and has been featured on C-SPAN explaining their approach to grassroots lobbying. They have worked with Fortune 500 corporations, associations, and non-profits to educate and mobilize third-party constituent advocates to help their clients win legislative and/or regulatory fights and promote public education programs. The firm's impact on important legislative issues such as taxation, healthcare, transportation, and international trade has been recognized since the 1990s.
