WHAT WE DO
Whatever you’re facing, we’ve been there.
Whether you’re a first-time candidate or a sitting officeholder, an organization in a policy fight, or a leader looking to elevate your public profile, we help you understand the landscape, prepare for what’s coming, and win the moments that matter.
RESEARCH
Know what’s coming
Every campaign turns to what’s in the record. Sharpen your message, prepare for attacks, and make every dollar count.
Know your own record
Understand your own strengths and weaknesses so you can make informed and strategic decisions for your campaign.
Self-research
Know your opponents inside and out
A detailed look at your opponent’s record, statements, finances, and background, so you can build the narrative against them and draw the sharpest contrast.
Opposition research
Know who’s standing next to you
Make sure your endorsers, surrogates, nominees, appointees or donors don’t cause headaches later because of past statements or actions.
Vetting & due diligence
Hear the story before it becomes the story
We keep tabs on mentions of you, your opponents, and the people and organizations that matter to you, plus the stories and trends shaping your race.
Media monitoring
See the whole chessboard before you make your move
Map the key players, leverage points, and legislation moving on your issue.
Issue advocacy research
Follow the money
Who’s funding your opponent, and what do they expect in return? We dig into campaign finance and disclosure records to find out.
