We specialize in rapidly scaling up effective field campaigns. Winning close elections can often come down to knowing who your voters are - and making sure they show up to vote. We excel at both tasks.
"Field" isn’t a substitute for a broader persuasion effort or a silver bullet; rather it’s a force multiplier that can take a strong message and effectively amplify it. As part of a combined campaign, it can be the difference between success and failure, or between a nail biter and a blowout. With consistent, unwavering focus and an unswerving attention to detail, we can create a top-level field campaign for any campaign on any budget.
Bartholomew C&S has consistently run top-notch field campaigns that measurably improved our candidates' performance on Election Day or get them on the ballot with plenty of room to spare.
In 2019, we ran a significant paid field campaign on behalf of the Jumaane Williams for Public Advocate Campaign. We rapidly scaled the campaign up and helped deliver blowout results in our targeted areas. This year we also ran simultaneous and successful ballot access campaigns in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Westchester, and Rockland Counties, all of which delivered many multiples of the required signatures.
In 2018, we helped a Judicial candidate in Rockland County quadruple his signature requirements and deter a primary challenge in the process.
In 2017, we ran a field effort that convinced more than 1/6 of all voters in a heavily Republican large suburban town to split their votes between their Town and County candidates.
In 2015, we ran the Get-Out-the-Vote operations for five local candidates in different towns and cities who won by less than 4% of the vote. Our aggressive operation was credited by all of them for their eventual margin of victory.
In 2013, our team was brought on board three weeks before a highly competitive primary election to rescue a struggling campaign for a long-time incumbent in a New York suburban town of more than 200,000 people. In the areas where we were able to run a field campaign, we increased turnout by 9% and increased our candidate’s share of the vote by 20% compared to areas we did not canvass. These extra votes provided the candidate’s entire margin of victory in the race.
If you're looking for a firm that knows how to get the most out of your field budget, look no further.
