During his tenure, Ted became experienced in working through the state budget process and developed the skills required for success in developing and passing legislation. He also developed many lasting relationships with staff members of the legislative and executive branches of Arkansas government. Ted values the friendships of many who still remain in state government positions because of their expertise in specific issue areas and their vast knowledge of the process.
When term limits became effective in 1999, Ted and his partner, Julie Grinder, founded a governmental relations and consulting firm, Mullenix & Associates. Mullenix & Associates is now recognized as one of the top lobbying firms in Arkansas. The firm's client list reflects the work ethic and integrity Ted was known for while serving as a member of the Arkansas General Assembly.
"The legislative process is very fascinating and due to term limits there is a constant need for new strategies. We would love the opportunity to discuss your consulting needs in Arkansas."
