I built a consulting firm that donors and candidates trust to deliver the results they are seeking. We help candidates maximize their fundraising and political potential. We’ve watched our clients grow their donor base, their fundraising dollars and rise to higher office as a result of our efforts. We know where to look for allies, donors and strategic partners. For our corporate and high net-worth individual clients, we assist with giving strategies to charitable causes and political candidates – we believe that investments in both areas can achieve impact on priority issue.Sample Client ListIllinois Democratic County Chairs' Association 2016 -US Senate Candidates Including: Patty Murray, Maria Cantwell, Sherrod Brown, Martin Heinrich, Tammy Baldwin, Jeff Merkley, Chris Coons, Barbara Boxer, Al Franken, and Ken Salazar.
