“We turn to Global Strategy Group for their on-target research, outstanding strategic guidance and team of experts to help us win in swing states and targeted races across the country.”

CHALLENGE
DEFY CONVENTIONAL WISDOM BY WINNING TOUGH PRIMARIES AGAINST TALENTED OPPONENTS AND GENERAL ELECTIONS IN RELIABLY “RED” DISTRICTS AND STATES. CHALLENGE ENTRENCHED REPUBLICANS AND PROTECT VULNERABLE INCUMBENTS IN COMPETITIVE RACES WHERE EVERY VOTE MATTERS – AND WIN.  
 
INSIGHT
Difficult campaigns cannot be won with a cookie cutter approach. No two candidates are alike. Campaigns are defined by fast-changing, unpredictable events. GSG provides roadmaps of winning messages, an objective assessment of how effectively they are communicated during a campaign, and precise advice about how and when to respond to opponents. Our razor-sharp research and extensive in-the-trenches political experience lets us give campaigns what they need: winning strategies, penetrating messages and solid campaign advice.

WIN
In 2004, first-time Congressional candidate Kirsten Gillibrand defeated a four-term incumbent by six points in a district with a decided Republican registration advantage. In 2006, Chet Culver emerged from a competitive primary election and then defeated a popular Congressman by a healthy ten point margin in the race for Governor of Iowa. In 2008, U.S. Rep. Carol Shea-Porter, widely viewed to be the most vulnerable member of Congress in the nation, defeated her challenger in a true swing district. And in a series of special elections that had critical national implications, GSG helped guide three Congressional candidates – Scott Murphy (NY-20), Bill Owens (NY-23), and Mark Critz (PA-12) – to important victories in what were considered by most to be uphill battles. By waging aggressive, disciplined and tailored campaigns, our political clients have garnered impressive victories in some of the most competitive battlegrounds throughout the nation.
