The people who keep local services running

Our clients are superintendents, chief business officials, city managers, finance directors, fire chiefs, general managers, district boards, and the residents who volunteer to carry a measure forward.

Each works under different rules, timelines, and pressures. We know how a school board, a city council, and a special district board each make decisions, and we shape the research, the measure, and the communication around how yours works.

Who we work with

  • School districts and community colleges

    Facility bonds, parcel taxes, operating levies, renewals, and any other measure that needs voter approval, built around real needs and what voters will support.

  • Cities and counties

    Sales taxes, hotel taxes, utility users taxes, infrastructure bonds, and other revenue measures that keep streets, parks, and public safety funded.

  • Special districts

    Fire, water, park, healthcare, and library districts that need stable local funding, including districts without a communications staff.

  • Committees and coalitions

    Campaign strategy for the independent committees that support local measures, and for coalitions and nonprofits bringing their own initiatives to voters.

Where we've worked

Our team is remote, with roots on the East and West Coasts, and we've worked with communities in 26 states, from small towns to major metros: Alaska, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Hawaii, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Washington, and Wyoming.

Wherever you are, the work starts the same way: listening to your community and finding out what voters will support.
