About Us

At BlueStateCampaigns, we put our experience to work and deliver innovative campaigns that use creativity to make you stand out from the crowd. No two campaigns are the same, and a cookie-cutter approach to campaigning only takes you so far.  We want to make sure your campaign is treated with the care and respect it deserves, and that’s why we will build an operation for you that’s rooted in personal service and responsiveness.

By assessing and evaluating all aspects of your campaign, we develop strategy that best meets your unique sets of needs.  We craft messaging that will resonate with your audience, and we design print and digital advertising that makes you stand out in a crowded field.  Most importantly, we save you time and money by combining our services, offering high-quality union printing and direct mail.  And, throughout, we always maintain the flexibility to adjust to new challenges as they appear.

Having served over 125 candidates, organizations and independent expenditures since the November 2016 Primary Elections, Blue State Campaigns has registered major victories at the state and local levels, including Susan Rubio’s historic California State Senate win in 2018. The firm is a member of the American Association of Political Consultants and won the organization’s 2021 Gold Pollie Award for excellence in internet advertising.
