Founded To Address A Specific Problem
After years on the campaign trail—managing races, working with state parties, and driving change the best way we knew how—we transitioned to more stable 9-to-5 jobs in renewable energy development and public policy. But our passion for politics never faded. As we stepped back, we saw a clear need in the progressive ecosystem: access to affordable, effective help for downballot candidates. Political consulting firms may want to help smaller, local races, but because they need to make a living, they usually end up working on bigger races with larger budgets. That's why we're here.
Because we work with our clients outside of our 9-to-5 jobs, and this isn't our main source of income, we’re able to provide high-quality campaign support at a more affordable rate than traditional consulting services. Specifically, we tailor our prices so that the smaller your race, the lower our rate is. Please explore our website and learn about the services we offer and our approach to campaigns!

We Build Smarter Campaigns By Obsessing Over Data
We identify the most persuadable precincts, key demographic insights, electoral performance, and other important metrics to make sure your time and resources are focused where they matter most.
In a sea of political messaging, we ensure your campaign cuts through the noise—and it’s affordable.
Most political consultants charge design fees or per placed ad. Not us. We'll create your direct mail or digital campaign plan, voter universe, design, and distribute at-cost.

In every campaign we fully supported, our candidates either outperformed Harris by over 6% or were the leading Democrat in their districts.

The team is responsive, clever, and intelligent. But you, the candidate remain in the driver seat. Strongly recommend.
Meggan
As a first time candidate, it was important to me for the campaign to feel authentic to myself; they adapted their extensive knowledge to my ideas, while providing the guidance that I needed to be the most effective. Their all-inclusive approach helped me be able to focus my time where it was most needed. I’m so grateful to have gotten the chance to work with them.”
