Eloise Gomez Reyes for Congress

• Campaign Manager

  • Sep 2013 - Jan 2014

  During the 2014 primary election, I worked as the Campaign Manager on one of the cycle's highest visibility House races, transforming an underdog into a frontrunner by raising twice as much as any other candidate and earning key endorsements. In addition to crafting the campaign's strategic path to victory, I designed and implemented a $1.2 million budget; hired and supervised staff across all departments; and directed a team of 10 off-site consultants and vendors. I also drove a fast-paced communications operation, drafting press releases, pitching news stories to both local and national reporters and acting as the official campaign spokesperson. As a senior policy advisor, I helped to shape the candidate's platforms, and I worked closely with a top polling firm to test and refine core messaging. I also built the campaign's robust online presence on major social media platforms and with influential bloggers in the progressive community.



Michelle Lujan Grisham for Congress

• National Finance Director

  • Aug 2012 - Nov 2012

  During the 2012 general election, I helped fuel an 18-point win in a seat Democrats had previously won with just over two percent of votes. As National Finance Director on Representative Michelle Lujan Grisham's first campaign, I recruited, trained and managed an in-house team of fundraisers that repeatedly exceeded campaign goals, doubling average weekly fundraising totals in the final three months of the election. I also cultivated political support from labor unions and local Native American tribes, and I executed a series of fundraisers featuring such high-profile hosts as former House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and "Game of Thrones" author George R.R. Martin.



Susan Bysiewicz for United States Senate

• National Finance Director

  • Mar 2011 - Aug 2012

  During the 2012 primary election, I managed a fundraising operation that brought in more than $2.3 million. Despite polling showing our opponent up by 30 points, our team succeeded in increasing its fundraising totals each quarter by simultaneously leveraging local grassroots support and a national network of high-dollar donors. As National Finance Director, I developed a metric-driven operation that allowed for high volumes of outreach across multiple marketing channels, real-time analysis of call time performance and optimized pledge fulfillment. I also restructured our finance operation to more fully engage the fundraising strengths of the candidate and the five team members under my management. Through partnerships with national organizations, I was able to grow the campaign's visibility in key ideological communities and drive list growth. I also prepared copy for all fundraising solicitations, pulled highly targeted data universes and integrated messaging across the campaign's social media platforms.

  Mission Control produces creative, persuasive, targeted mail pieces that help political candidates and progressive campaigns win. During the 2010 election, I collaborated with graphic designers and fellow copywriters to develop the strategy, content and artwork for dozens of award-winning mailers.
