Joseph Mapes, President of Mapes & Mapes, Inc., Louisiana's First Registered Lobbyists

There are three types of people: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, and those who say “What happened?”

When founder Joe Mapes realized this years ago, he knew this was the foundation upon which a governmental relations firm should be built. This set the tone of the company that began in 1950 that still prevails and inspires everyone affiliated with Mapes & Mapes today.

The company’s goal is to continue a legacy of experience, integrity, and ethics to create business and political opportunities for all its clients.

Mapes & Mapes specializes in governmental relations because we truly enjoy helping people flourish in their business and professional interests. We make our clients’ voice heard effectively amidst the quagmire of government and politics. Our blend of knowledge of the process with relationships built on trust affords benefits of that process to all whom we represent.
