Frequently Asked Questions:
How much do your campaign strategy services cost?
Campaign strategy is personal. Each campaign is as individual as the candidate him or herself. Each race has to take into account size of the region, demographics, issues, opponent’s history and strategy… you get it. Because of the custom nature of each race, each package is suited to the individual contest. It’s impossible to quote a blanket price. We always conduct an interview with the candidate to get the details of the race and make sure that you are a good fit for our system. If there is a match, we will come up with a proposal for you and we’re off to the races!
What do you look for in a candidate?
There are two main characteristics that every client we work with needs to have. No, political knowledge is not one of them. That can all be learned by the right candidate as they go. Instead, we look for candidates who are hard workers and coachable. Without those two traits, we find that it’s almost impossible to win. It’s not that candidates can’t ask us questions about things that we ask them to do, but there is a method to our madness, and if a client is unwilling to make fundraising calls or implement our marketing plan, we’ve found that those candidates usually don’t win. Likewise, running for office is a part-time job in and of itself. If you have too many other things going on to put in the work needed to build the campaign foundations, door knock, and hit public events, then it is also next to impossible to win. That’s why we do a candidate interview before we ever decide to take a client on.
Who have you worked for?
Ah yes, the million dollar question. Because of the secretive nature of campaign strategy and wanting to give our clients the element of surprise over opponents, we don’t publish client lists. We have helped candidates win races at the school district, city, and county levels in the metro and in greater Minnesota. Most of our clients are still working as elected officials, so we are well-versed in both election and re-election campaigns.
What do you provide for your clients?
We create a custom Campaign Playbook that is tailored to your race. We will provide vital information about your area, how to build a solid foundation for your campaign, recruiting a campaign team, fundraising, specifics of your race, opponent research, etc. We coach you on creating effective campaign liturature, debate prep, and more. When that’s all done, we don’t ride off into the sunset. We stay on call with you for the entire race, so we can get you across the finish line.
What makes you different from other campaign strategists?
One thing is certain in politics… everyone has an opinion. The problem is that despite all of the opinions, very few people have the experience to win non-partisan campaigns. Even those that have won partisan contetests may have some valuable experience, but still don’t fully understand how to win local races. The Democrats are trying to make these local campaigns partisan, and Republicans largely ignore them. We’ve won more races in Hennepin County than any other conservatives in recent times. The last decade-plus has given us the knowledge and experience to give our clients an advantage in running local elections.
