Experienced U.S. political campaign operative for paid advisory calls (WI, IL, PA, FL, AZ, MI)

We're a nonpartisan civic-technology startup building a verified-participation tool for campaigns and advocacy groups. We're looking to talk with experienced U.S. campaign professionals for paid 45–60 minute advisory calls (and possibly ongoing advisory work) to understand how campaigns really operate, what tools and data you rely on, and where the biggest pain points are. This is a consulting/advisory engagement — not a sales call. We want your honest expertise, not to pitch you. Who we're looking for — people who have held real decision-making and budget authority on a campaign or advocacy organization, in one or more of these roles: Campaign manager or deputy campaign manager / chief of staff General consultant / chief strategist Finance director Communications, field, digital, data, or political director Media/ad-firm consultant Lobbyist / government-relations director (advocacy & ballot campaigns) Markets that matter most to us (bonus if you've worked here): Wisconsin, Illinois (Chicago), Pennsylvania (Philadelphia), Florida (Jacksonville, Tampa), Arizona (Tucson), Michigan (Warren) — especially local, mayoral, legislative, ballot-measure, and advocacy campaigns. What we'd cover on the call: How you prove real supporter support to donors, press, and decision-makers today Where that process is slow, expensive, or gets dismissed as unverifiable Which tools you buy, who decides, and how budget is allocated Candid feedback on our concept Requirements: 5+ years in U.S. political or advocacy campaigns, in a role with budget or purchasing authority Comfortable speaking candidly about campaign operations and tooling Available for a scheduled video call (we'll work around your time zone)
