HDA's thoughtful leader and co-founder Jim Harris passed away on May 8, 2023 following a year-long battle with ALS. Since the firm’s founding in 1984, Jim and Renny grew a two-person firm to today's 20+ person, multi-state issues management firm that boasts a client base of numerous Fortune 500 companies. HDA works daily to honor Jim’s legacy, best stated in his own words:

IN MEMORIAM


“We all believe in professionalism; we all believe in being the best we can be. Even when we have the odds against us, we stay in there with the truth.”
