What We Do

Public Policy & Political Campaigns

With over 40 years of experience in political and public policy campaigns, we understand how to execute and win efficiently and effectively. Whether the campaign consists of passing a local or statewide initiative, supporting a candidate for office, passing a piece of legislation or moving public opinion on an issue, we deliver results.

Our principal, associates, and strategic partners have worked on hundreds of public policy and political campaigns including major statewide initiatives addressing issues across a wide spectrum of diversity—from renewable energy to school construction bonds.

Public policy and political campaigns often require a delicate balance of team management, communications, paid media, coalition building, resource allocation, research and strategic planning. Within each of these categories lies a vast assortment of tactics, strategies, and services.

At Attore & Associates, we work with the client to assemble the team, develop the strategies, and carry out the plan. We can play the role of trusted adviser, behind-the-scenes architect or campaign manager depending on what best suits your needs.

Our goal is to achieve victory and lay the groundwork for your future success.

We have developed and implemented intervention strategies for corporate clients struggling with public entities and governing bodies; labor clients encountering difficulties with management or elected officials; and non-profit organizations facing challenges with funding and grantees. No matter the situation, we are prepared to intervene.
