When we mentioned via email our allies and clients who’d received AAPC Pollie Awards for work in 2009, we overlooked our good friends at Texas Petition Strategies.  TPS is the winningest local ballot measure consulting firm in America and we are proud to have worked alongside them on more than 40 projects in the Lone Star State.  We salute Texas Petiton Strategies along with other clients and allied consultants who won national awards for creativity and quality in political consulting in 2009: Eleison Group; Guice Agency; Kennedy Communications; Mammen Group; Mission Control; Prime Time Agency; Rindy Miller Media; Squier, Knapp, Dunn; Jonathan Varner  and Associates
