Leonine Public Affairs is a public affairs firm specializing in government relations, lobbying, and campaign & association management. 

The firm does a significant amount of state government affairs and public relations in Vermont. It also runs FOCUS, a 50-state government affairs consulting and legislative tracking service that has become one of the premiere services in the country.

Prior to becoming a partner, Nick worked as an associate lobbyist at LPA (then known as KSE Partners) since November of 2005. Before that, Nick worked as a musician and producer with various bands in the Burlington, Vermont area.

We also speak with Alexandra (Alex) MacLean, who is a Partner and President of Public Relations and Issue Campaigns at LPA. From 2008 to 2012 Alex worked for Governor Shumlin as his Chief of Staff in his capacity as Senate Pro Tem and then Secretary of Civil and Military Affairs and Deputy Chief of Staff once he was elected Governor.
