Ballot & Issue Campaigns

When the public decision
shapes the business.

We help owners, businesses and coalitions assess ballot measures and lead campaigns for or against them, with a focus on development, project funding and the ability to operate and grow.

Partner experience

More than 70 ballot and issue campaigns across 16 states.

Where we get involved

From the first assessment to the public decision.

Viability & strategy

Assess voter sentiment, test the case for a measure and help ownership weigh the costs, risks and prospects before committing resources. Shape the campaign around the business objective.

Ballot qualification

Manage the path to the ballot with election counsel and specialist field teams, overseeing signature gathering, vendors, budgets and deadlines. Keep qualification aligned with the wider campaign.

Campaign leadership

Lead research, coalition building, voter outreach and communications, giving ownership a single point of responsibility for strategy, budget and execution through Election Day.

Kellen Arno leads this work, drawing on experience with stadium measures, major real estate developments and other contested ballot and issue campaigns. His background in national voter data and analytics connects research with the practical demands of running a campaign.
