What TBA does

Tonio Burgos & Associates (TBA) is a privately held, MWBE-certified government affairs and strategic planning firm founded by Tonio Burgos following his 15-year tenure in New York State government service under Governors Hugh Carey and Mario Cuomo. The firm provides lobbying, governmental consulting, strategic planning, business development, public and community affairs, regulatory and zoning advocacy, and coalition building services to federal, state, and local government entities as well as business, labor, and non-profit clients. TBA operates across five disclosed industry verticals: Transportation Infrastructure, Healthcare, Renewable Energy, Technology, and Real Estate & Development (including Hospitality, Travel & Leisure), with service delivery anchored by a tri-state geographic base and a federal extension.

TBA is structured around a multi-office footprint — a New York City headquarters at 115 Broadway, Suite 1504, plus offices in Albany (NY), Trenton (NJ), and Washington, D.C. — staffed by former government officials, congressional staff, and labor leaders using a team-based model in which each client receives a dedicated client lead. The firm carries minority and women-owned business (MWBE) certifications in New York State, New York City, New Jersey, and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which function as formal qualifications for government and quasi-government contract eligibility.

The revenue model is professional services engagement-based, with quote-based pricing per client mandate; revenue is not publicly disclosed. There are no funding rounds, subsidiaries, parent entities, M&A activity, or technology/AI products in the disclosed record. Marketing and demand generation are driven by network referrals and reputation in government affairs rather than digital or content channels, and the firm maintains a mutual strategic alliance with Grayson & Co. (Washington, DC) for adjacent advisory capability.
