Pennsylvania

I served as the Campaign Manager for Real Reform 76. This state-wide initiative advocated for the passage of Pennsylvania Senate Bill 76. If passed, this bill would have eliminated school property taxes, which would have saved Pennsylvania property owners thousands of dollars each year. I was selected for this intensive role due to my knowledge of Pennsylvania politics, my ability to build state-wide grassroots coalitions and my expertise in effectively detailing SB 76’s economic impact. The bill reached the Pennsylvania Senate floor in December 2015. The tie vote was decided by the Lieutenant Governor, who voted against the bill. This effectively ended the campaign.Accomplishments:- Provided presentations at town halls in 33 of the 67 counties in Pennsylvania.- Covered by various TV and radio networks, as well as local newspapers throughout Pennsylvania.- Educated organizations about the merits of the bill, i.e. Chamber, Homebuilders Association, etc.- Personally wrote and ghost-wrote letters to the editor for distribution across Pennsylvania.- Met with key legislators opposed to the bill to learn their concerns, alleviate misconceptions and to push for a positive vote.- Compiled common myths perpetrated about the bill, and provided the "truth behind the spin" on these inaccurate statements.

By analyzing statistical information such as demographics and voter trends for the Pennsylvania 156th House district, I designed a “Get Out the Vote strategy” for the candidate and our campaign team. By meeting with local residents, businesses and organizations, I ensured the candidate had strong name recognition and “likeability.” I created several fundraisers and recruited volunteers to assist our efforts. Lastly, I prepared Election Day schedules for the candidate and campaign team which included priority precinct visibility.Accomplishments:- Recognized by the Governor and members of the Pennsylvania State House of Representatives for our innovative efforts in winning a district considered strongly in favor of the opponent;- Individually met with thousands of residents in just over three months, which provided me with a solid understanding of the different political perspectives of the legislative district;- Created one of the largest “Get Out the Vote” initiatives in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania by gathering enthusiastic residents, students and other friends to knock on doors, phone bank and drive voters to the polls.
