Down-ballot is the loneliest race in politics. It doesn't have to be.

  • The national firms won't return your call — your race is "too small" for their minimums.
  • Your website was built by a volunteer, and every voter who visits can tell.
  • You're guessing which precincts matter, because no one has ever shown you the data.
  • Every vendor quote you've gotten starts with "well, it depends."

You don't need a bigger machine. You need a guide who's built one for exactly your kind of race — and shows you the price before you ask.

Straight answers

Asked constantly.

Is my race too small for you?
No. Down-ballot is the entire practice — county commission, state house, township, auditor, sheriff, school board. If the national firms call it too small, it's exactly our size.
What does the ad money actually buy?
Reach into the specific households that decide your race — not "impressions" across a whole media market. You get the receipts and a weekly plain-English report: what ran, who it reached, what it cost.
Do you work with Democrats?
No. Republican and independent candidates only.
What if I only need a website?
Then that's what we'll recommend. Selling the big package to a campaign that needs the small one is how firms die in county politics — we intend to be here a while.
Who actually does the work?
Kelly. Not an account coordinator, not an offshore team. That's the point of a firm this size.
