Winning Ballot Initiative Strategies Ballot initiative campaigns make a difference. Every year, groups representing the entire political spectrum are framing debates and winning important policy goals by utilizing the ballot initiative process. At McClintock Consulting, Inc., our mission is to help organizations win ballot initiative campaigns. More and more, groups are taking issues directly to the voters. Running and winning issue campaigns demands a sophisticated understanding of the ballot initiative process and the unique rules that attend these campaigns in each state. McClintock Consulting is a national consulting firm with expertise in helping state and local organizations and coalitions negotiate the process and position themselves for victory. In 2006 alone, we assisted and won campaigns in Idaho, Maine, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, Ohio, and Oregon. McClintock Consulting works on all aspects of ballot initiative strategy. We serve as the general consultant to guide the planning, pace, and strategy of campaigns, or we can assemble a team of experienced professionals that complement the unique needs of your effort. We pay necessary attention to defensive fights, and we've developed a specialization in “no” campaigns through our work on several tax-related measures. We also believe in advancing pro-active issues at the ballot box. Either way, we can help you win.
