What Jim Dunlap Consultants does

Jim Dunlap Consultants, LLC is a privately held governmental affairs consulting firm headquartered in Edmond, Oklahoma, founded in 2003 by former Oklahoma State Senator Jim Dunlap. The firm provides legislative representation, election and referendum consulting, and strategic government relations advisory to corporations and industry associations seeking to influence state and federal legislation and regulation.

The client base is enterprise-grade and horizontally diversified across regulated industries: automotive (Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers), aviation (American Airlines), energy (Exxon Mobil, Phillips 66, Tenaska), pharmaceuticals (Eli Lilly, PHRMA), telecommunications (Cox Communications), healthcare (Oklahoma State Medical Association), and engineering. The firm also operates two affiliated entities — Majority Plus, LLC, a parallel lobbying vehicle founded by Jim Dunlap, and The Dunlap Group, founded in 2005 by Pam Dunlap (Managing Partner), which extends into nonprofit management and leadership development.

The business model is professional services on a referral-driven, relationship-based go-to-market motion. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured around client-specific engagement scopes and retainers. The firm's competitive position rests on Jim Dunlap's 30+ years of Capitol experience, 16 years in the Oklahoma Legislature, prior role as Senate Republican Floor Leader, and former National Chairmanship of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), which together yield direct relationships with legislators in all 50 states.
