My experience as a journalist, a DEC Party Chair, a candidate and an elected official has given me keen insight into the political process. I know how to win elections and specialize in helping progressive candidates beat the odds. Under my leadership, Seminole County - once the heart of "red" Florida - elected Democrats to two of our three state house seats in 2012. It was the first time in nearly two decades than any Democrat had held a single seat in our county's legislative delegation. As a former journalist, I know how to engage reporters and garner positive (free) media attention. And as a candidate myself for both county-wide and state house races, I understand the passion and dedication it takes to put your life on hold in order to serve the community. I know what you are going through and how to make your sacrifice worthwhile. My passion is the big picture - creating a winning strategy and helping worthy candidates achieve victory. Unlike most consultants, I am not in this for the money. I'm in it because I have children and want to leave them a better world.
