Corin Corin Choppin
Pollster
Corin’s training as a Survey Phone Room Floor Supervisor combined with his statistical training in research methodology and data mining techniques gives him a depth in the field that few pollsters possess. But it is his experience as a campaign manager that gives him the ability to efficiently translate data derived from a poll into information useful for winning a campaign.
Dawn Dawn Dais
Graphic Designer
With the abundance of information being thrown at everyone today it is becoming increasingly difficult to stand out and grab people's attention. That's where Dawn comes in. Political mail is not about throwing an American flag and a candidate photo on a postcard and hoping it does not get tossed with the supermarket circular. With so many messages vying for voters’ attention you need to stand out with unique and eye-catching pieces.
Dan Dan Hood
Photographer
Dan knows how to tell a story through photography. If great photos are worth a thousand words, his are worth a thousand votes. Dan shoots both on location and in his well-equipped studio. In an era when stock photography dominates political mail, Dan’s photography makes sure ours connect with voters as they see people and places they know.
Chris Chris Smith

There are many pieces to a campaign puzzle and Chris knows how to put them all together. As an event and festival manager he generates his strength from grassroots organizing.
