With 518K elected officials and 45K candidates running for office, it is imperative to replace the outdated fundraising model that leaves funding resources limited to whom you have a relationship with or requires a cumbersome process of candidates devoting an excessive amount of time on the phone soliciting high net worth donors that is not always an efficient use of time.

More than a year before the 2014 election, I was the first professional hired by then State Representative Alma Adams. • Built a nationally recognized consulting team, and an on-the-ground staff. The primary was to fill a vacancy left by long-time representative Mel Watt as he had been tapped by President Obama for an appointment. Early in the race, pundits did not give Alma Adams a shot at winning. Only one other African-American female had been elected to the US House of Representatives from North Carolina, and Alma Adams was viewed as especially weak due to her lack of past fundraising experience. As election day grew near, through Greenprint Strategies' guidance, Alma Adams became a front runner, as she had outpaced the entire field in fundraising. • With 7 people in the race, and 40% of the vote needed to avoid a runoff, pundits were analyzing and planning for the run-off election between Alma Adams and those battling for second position. On primary night, the campaign surprised everyone, as it garnered 43% of the vote.• Alma Adams handily won her general election and was sworn in as the 100th woman in the 113th United States Congress.• Led the transition efforts to build Adams’ D.C. and statewide staff and offices.
